1967-68 6 way seats question

[Joseph Bisinger]

What do you guys think it’s worth.

Can you guess the question any buyer will have?
And we all have?

Does it work?

 

[Joseph Bisinger]

I don’t have wiring diagram to know where to put power to. I think it’s a complete assembly

They’re pretty easy to bench test. That assembly looks very clean. I would be shocked if it didn’t work. I’ve had these that looked like they were in a swamp for years and with a little elbow grease I got them working. My shop is in Royal Oak, bring it over and we can test it. If it works it’s worth a lot more than an untested unit.

I can see that switch being for '67, but I'm not so sure about '68.

 

[cbarge]

68 last year for that switch.
There should ve a heavuer guage wire with a female plug that is the power supply.
Body is ground.
The power wire is typically fed by a 30 amp circuit breaker located in drivers kick panel area and is live or hot from the battery.

The big problem with that power seat setup is the condition of the solenoids. If one or more is bad, the mechanism won't work properly. And I don't think they are repairable. Maybe @Devinism has some input on them. He has worked on these in the past.

I hooked up 12v to the male connector in the pic I can hear the motor wanting to do something. I sprayed PB blaster.

And. . .?

I flip the switch back and forward and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

I have rebuilt quite a few of the switches, but I have never attacked the solenoids.

How did you rebuild it, have you ever rebuilt a motor

I don't do the motors. Topher McGinnis is the motor man.

The procedure for those switches is too involved to explain.

I look up Topher McGinnis and it shows no member with that name

Because there is movement, before motor rebuild, it might be wise to clean things up including switch and transmission. Yours looks pretty clean but I rebuilt one of these power tracks and crust and old grease interfered with the ground to my external batter (12v drill). Any number of things could bind up those tracks. For me I unfortunately had a working motor until it didn't. Plus the switch was missing some important parts so if you take hat apart take lots of pics and don't let the tiny springs disappear.

Oh also one of the issues with selling this is weight. Bitches are heavy and spendy to ship. Check ebay and this site for $ being asked for non-working set.
