When the fiber washer is missing from under the condenser screw head, then the brass terminal can spin before the screw is tight to the bus bar on the lower plate. Once it turns, the condenser should be considered junk, because if it still has the capacity to work, it is a real stroke of luck, but I'd consider it unreliable. Be safe and replace it with a heat proof one from the parts houses.

Well that was exactly the problem with the condenser....no washer, screw bottomed out and the brass tip on the condenser turned..
I had to drill out the screw, and there is no question that that particular condenser is "junk" as I cut the opposite end off hoping to get at it and hold it while removing the screw....
I had replacements....
