Christine lives again! 3 years ago I replaced the insulation and repaired some rust on the liner. Then a few weeks later the thermostat went out and after I ordered the part I realized that the wires were shot and it just got put aside until a few weeks ago when I became fed up with seeing my machine sitting there collecting dust so I ordered a wiring harness, fan motors, and some mounts for the compressor and got the compressor deck working again. Took the whole thing apart and repainted the deck and evaporator and condenser coils. Replaced the fan motors and replaced all the wiring. It's nowhere near a great restoration but it does look nice now and with the new compressor mounts the compressor is just slightly louder than a refrigerator instead of what was described as a "liopleurodon" by JohnieG  biggrin

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.
