Hi I just finished fixing restoring a cavilier 72 coke machine and it has a newer late 70's early 80's cooling unit. There was a spark by the thermostat big bright spark while I was adjusting temp shocked the s/:! Out of me. Now all fans work and the cooling unit blows slightly cool but not cold. Any suggestions? This is my 1st rodeo with cooling units. Quick learner just looking for some help.

Thanks a mill

Mark

Mark,

I am going to guess you may have got it going by now, but if not, let us know and I'll be glad to help as best I can.

Talk to Eric at Global Compressors. He's on this board. He helped me out with a R-12 to R-134 changeover, but then I also have the all the stuff to do it (vacuum pump, micron vacuum gauge, gauge set, torches, etc.) that most people don't have (for certain the vacuum micron gauge which is most important with these units.).

       If the unit in it is not original it may have been transplanted from another machine, probably a Cavalier 64 or 96. You could do the same thing again to get the machine up and running, then work on finding the proper C-72/96 compressor and evaporator system.
     Keep in mind your copper line in the 72 enters the cabinet below the bottle door so some careful bending may be required on the temporary unit.
