Default Working on an old Pepsi cooler

We have had this old thing in the garage for ever, took a look at it today. Replaced the power chord, re soldered the run-time connections. Fan is still bad. But the compressor works great.

I tried to put an in line capacitor on, the fan actucally did something, but still not running right. The thing gets cold, have some beer chilling in there now. With a box fan working as a substitute.

Pics are here

Don't worry, the cold beer has perfectly fine elbows. I'd drink it.
