Building on a thread started by "Lotsahell," here are the first pics from a transmission shop I'm currently working on.

The first pic is of the starter open; as you can see, this is a single-phase unit.

The second pic shows the box feeding the com[pressor, as I found it. Please note the absense of either a cover or disconnecting means. Not so obvious is that there are three large wires, plus a ground wire, going to the compressor. This is one wire more than is neede for a single phase unit.

A look behind the unit (pic 3) shows what happened to the lost phase- it was simply capped off at the flying splice.
