Crown Electrical Issues

Hello everyone,
I have a ‘61 Crown located in Maricopa AZ.
It runs and drives. I need a mechanic to ensure all of the lights and electrical are functioning properly so that I could drive it to Florida where it will be stored. I don’t live in AZ, so the mechanic would have to be mobile.
Thank you,

Ross Taylor is a forum member here, works on Crowns and other buses, lives near Flagstaff, and would definitely be my first choice if I were looking for someone who knows buses and can work on them. He's a good 'un.

The Crown Coach Junkies forum on Facebook is another resource.

Do you have any specific electrical problems now? Crown's wiring was always made to very high factory standards, so unless rodents have chewed it or somebody else has bodged it, it should still be OK.

Thanks, guys! I'm humbled.

Hi 808. I'm a couple of hours away, but I could get to Maricopa...or maybe I could walk you through some things remotely if that's better? I'm flexible either way. My cell is nine two eight 554 5219. The voice greeting will mention our other business (FBOMB Foods) but you've got the right number!
