Just a follow up. I have a complete 71 power roof and a complete manual roof cassette. I thought it might be a good idea to document both of them since they do not interchange. I'm also having a new cable shoe made for the manual unit, ( where the cables engage the gear). These were made out of aluminum and they wear out causing the cables to slip. I'm sure there are a lot of these out there that think the cables or gear are bad and it's just this shoe that has worn out.
Anyway,once I'm done with that then the manual assembly will go up for grabs.
And as for the power unit, that is getting installed on the chicken. I actually got very lucky with that one. It sat , partially open,in a boneyard for 20 years. I figured it was going to be stuck or at least chunky to move. Surprise surprise, the the thing moves smooth as silk driving it manually. I might hook up the motor and see if it still works as well.
BTW has anyone seen a replacement switch for these? That is the only part I do not have.
