Beautiful! The belt-drives are my favorites. This is a very nice piece and it's very impressive that you have the parts all still in place. You posted it in the correct place, for sure.
It's going to be tough to get all original parts, but likely period correct parts can be found to restore the condensing unit. Sincerely, David

I took a closer look at the condensing unit by expanding your pictures. I have rebuilt many Frigidaire belt drives. Would love to get this going for you.

Looks like a very late model. I didn't think they made them for R-12 refrigerant. It is a high-side float metered system or does it have a capillary tube?

Many of the R12 ones were TXV or AXV systems. In general, manufacturers didn't use belt drives with cap tube. Belt drives always seep refrigerant, so the design must be capable of working normally over a wide range of charge volumes. Cap tube designs must be charged to a critical amount to work well; unless the system has a specially designed suction accumulator. I would expect this is going to be some form of expansion valve. Probably an AXV if I had to guess. Hopefully he shows us more pictures of the interior parts!

It would likely have been an early capacitor-start Delco. Most likely a 1/4 or 1/3 HP size. Originals are difficult to find. The motor pulley would have had a fan blade built into it.
