Well JohnieG (John) Did another hands down great job on this compressor and it was done right  the owner of the VMC Pepsi 81 had it done a few years back by some one out east (can't say) but it was a horrible job and was done wrong and a poor job , John had opened a valve and there was nothing left in the compressor  A before & a few afters just waiting for the coin mech to come back from repairs    Great Job John thanks |

Yeah, it was a bit of a mess, bad leaks at the brazing/joints so it leaked down & sat for quite a while to atmosphere, so when I checked a sample of the compressors oil it had gone acidic ( atmospheric water in the oil) plus it (the compressor) was more of a consumers grade/"refrigerator" bowling-ball style, so a new filter-dryer, line flush. so a new 1/4 HP Tecumseh R-12 rated unit was in order.
I chopped off about 2.5' of suction line, replaced the capillary tube & tack the cap' tube to the suction line. got rid of the used evap' & condenser fan motors, and took care of that ridiculous evap' motor fan-bracket, media blasted & powder coated the deck-plate & condenser coil & motor bracket. Topped it off with a new wiring harness ( although the original attempt was an impressive tangle of wire-nuts & electrical tape)

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Well.... you get what you pay for. Yeah, he's still in business, and I take customers from him monthly. The longer he stays in business.... the better! Nice looking unit Johnie.... no "pun" intended!  |
