I got two of these in a package deal with a bunch of machines recently... the guy I got them from said they where from some experimental Coke Machine that never made it into production... they are complete and cool...I am hoping I might be able to redo and make work in a regular machine? but I'm not that good with refridgeration? any thoughts or comments on these things?

I never saw that configuration on a Coke machine, but then again I only saw five machines.  Its obviously an evaporator on top.  The fuzy looking fins were on Carrier coils.  At least on window shakers.  The normal coils are your fin and tube which are usually an A coil or square.  My VMC 72 has a round fin and tube evaporator with the fan in the middle of it.

Is there an evaporator fan?

I see that the condensing unit looks like a standard unit.

That is strange!
The only two machines I can think of that have a set-up similar (evap coils up high) are the C-51 and the VMC242. Both have fans though.

Looks like the evaporator/guts of a Cornielus slider stood on-end, the aluminum "tinsel" of the evaproator coils units are made for a dry unit,  if you laid it down horizontally, it would be very close to the cornielus machines coils.

Johnnie that is exactly what I was going to say. It looks like the evaporator coils from a cornelius mated with a conventional lower unit.

Upon closer inspection of the pictures, I spy a defrost timer on the left unit, near the base/electrical juntion box & temp limit switch on the upper coil, could be for a forced air dehumidifier unit. which would kinda explain the "tinsel" evap coils.  I suspect it isn't a freezer unit, but you'd need a defrost timer if a dehumidifier iced-up. so thats my story & I'm stickn' to it!  tounge


Pat, remember that old 1950's Sears upright/cylindrical dehumidfier I have in my garage? very simular setup,
