I ended up getting the Kelvinator partially apart, and the amount of grease, rust, and deterioration from wherever it had been sitting that was hidden by nice, shiny porcelain was the death knell for the unit. I ended up parting it out for other projects, but after the 8th or so 1/4" screw head snapped off from rust, that was it, and the project was scrapped.
I had to make more room for televisions anyway, and I've repaired more sets over this winter than I have in many years....
