Steve;
  My fans come on when the  needle gets right to the "A" in normal.  This 
takes it down to the middle  of the "L'...  My condenser is even smashed a lil 
and it still stays plenty  cool. This is just an idea that maybe will tell you 
what's going on.  Drain  your system.  Disconnect the upper radiaotor hose at 
the radiator, and take  off the cap , and put a garden hose in the radiator.  
Turn the water on  just a lil. Wait till the thermostat opens and then watch 
the flow coming  out. Keep an eye on the temp guage. Watch just how much water 
is coming out of  the upper hose.  You might have some cloggage in the block 
with that many  miles ..You never know, but considering you're still having 
troubles,  a  low flow would indicate cloggage or water pump.  Did you try just 
hot  wiring the fans and leaving them on all the time to see how hot she got?  I 
 haven't read all the replys to your problem , so some of these ideas might 
have  already been suggested. And then again, they might not tell you 
diddlysquat.  good luck!
