My 64 Commander VI goes nowhere after sitting all winter. The
Flight-O-Matic looks all clean inside with no obvious broken pieces, so my
guess is that it probably needs a rebuild (new bands). I've checked all the
obvious places (including the catalogs at my local autoparts
swindlers...er...retailers) for a rebuild kit, but no joy. Anybody have a
source? Thanks.

Billy,

Have you tried to start the engine, put it in "L" and let it sit for a
minute or two? More than likely, the seals have gotten hard from age
and sitting and it may just take a while to build pressure.

If it drove in last fall and won't drive out this spring that is the
most likely culprit.
