<VV> early conv. top hydraulics / (humor?)

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

The Corvair top is not hydraulic really, is it ?  It's an electric motor 
putting it up and down ?

When my wiring gave me a problem, I remember pulling it up and pushing it 
down manually until I figured out the wiring.

I just stood in the back and lifted it evenly from both side, not too fast, 
because you're "driving" the motor, and the gearing is designed to go the 
"other way."

(I remember the problem was the "safety switch" contacts got burned, and 
cleaning them cured it.)

Does anyway have that wiring diagram for the LM top switch ?  Is it 
different from the EM ?
