GREAT FIND! Skills are a great thing to have ain 't they? Makes you wonder how the rest of the population gets along! Welder/fabricator by trade. Dad was a petrol/diesel mechanic. I can turn my hand to almost anything as I am sure you do. Let us know how it goes. Keep Smokin!
Danny
Danny, I was formally trained as an industrial fabricator, doing Sheet Metal work was a step back and so much easier for me to do these days......If it is made out of metal, I can build it!!! Now, can you afford me is an entirely different question........
Nice! From an old AC guy...great find.
A lot of those old refrigeration units like that have steel lines...I hope you didn't have to deal with that!!!
Bill
Bill, it does have a steel coil, but the line set is copper.....For some reason they had about an extra foot of liquid line welded in....It seems like someone was trying to repair it, but did not know how or what to do.......So far all I found was the flared fitting was bent and it was leaking around it and I found a crack in the liquid line was cracked, a quick weld job and I'm holding good so far.....
Shoney.. I've read post's before where people have used a freezer for a refrigerator.. they just used something like a PID controller.. said it is much more energy efficient... So maybe get it working properly (freezing) and use a controller to control the temps.. just a thought...
JckDanls 07, That was some what I planned to do, but one of my coworkers said that their as a cheaper way he runs his, so I'm waiting to see how he is doing his before I make a decision on how to do mind.........
Shoney! Sweet! That is great!
Kat
Kat, Thanks, Just trying to keep up........
HOLY CRAP.
If I had that it would be full. I have stuff in m y project fridge I need to get to.........Nice find.
Happy smoken.
David
David, Well that is kind of why I had to find something bigger, my wife has banded me from buying anything else to put in the freezer.......We had to rest a chair against the door about a week ago. The freezer has a hi temperature alarm that went off in the middle of the night.......I had just mad a trip to Sam's and well kinda bought some baby back ribs that keep knocking the door open.........All I heard was, YOU better make that thing stop making noise, I'm trying to sleep......
.......
I don't think that's going to be big enough for all the butts you buy SB!!!! You might need to get another one!
Great find and getting it on the cheap and fixing it yourself is the only way to go!!!
S2K9K, Well, it is a start..........
Very cool you wanna bring it over to me for hunting season
Pineywoods, It depends on how this works out, I may try to find another one just for that reason.....
