You can use a C3p1, c3p2, c3p3, or icy1 computer from what ive seen posted on NLOC.

Get on NLOC and you might be able to find a couple with a spare laying around that they will sell you.

I think there is a website you can buy computers from and they refurbish old ones too. Let me see if I can find it.

Rock Auto uses Standard Motor Products to do the rebuilding. Their part number should be EM414. Napa also carries Standard Motor Products, you could try there as well.

In most cases it's the capacitors that get old then pop open. If you were handy with a soldering iron you can replace the capacitors yourself.

The group at NLOC are a great resource as mentioned in a previously.
