To round out the good day my new neighbor and the local A/C wizard came by to bring the A/C to life. Thirty years ago the A/C got me home from CA with two cans of R-12, but hadn't ran since.
Duane brought along a new Delco dryer (he knows me well!) with a Made In China sticker on it
I had set up with two 25' flex hoses to pipe exhaust outside (7 degrees) while running in the shop (70 degrees).
My cousin gave me a full R-12 canister a few years ago because it was obsolete for his farm equipment.
After evacuation held steady, time for a charge. Soo, I learned that the A/C control switch isn't sending power to the A/C clutch, worry about that later, jumper the clutch and away we go! The POA valve was a little stubborn but with a few light taps and a little patience with oil circulation, it was blowing 40 degrees a standstill idle.
A good day indeed!!
