Second time is done right

[Pat Pixley]

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

I still like the 1st one. Oh, and scope out that cool motor bracket
on the evaporator coil!

Can you believe this person who " RESTORED" this  is still doing business.

 John and I were looking at that and could not believe that did not tear thing up .

They must not have realized that the suction line doesn't have to be the same length as the cap tube. Unless the condensing unit was mounted remotely.

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)

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!
