Putting in the new fan that directs airflow in the right direction made for a huge improvement. I did have to work with the new fan blade quite a bit because it was pretty far out of balance. I worked on trimming the blade pitch to make sure all of the blades were positioned the same. However it still shook like crazy where the old fan blade was smooth. I put a clip on one blade at a time until it started to run smooth. Then once I found the blade that needed weight I drilled a small hole in it about mid point and put in a very small screw. At first it still had a small wobble so I kept filing away at the screw end until it finally ran nice and smooth.
The new blade made the Temps way more even in such a tall machine. I am still working on getting the thermostat set right. Currently it shuts off around 27 degrees and turns on at 35 with the temp sensor about 12 inches above the bottom of the machine. I put several water bottles in it at different heights and the bottom ones seem to average around 33 to 34. And the tops are around 35 to 36. So I think that's getting close to where I want it. It's nice to have it up and working. Now I need to go get some bottles to try it out for real! Thanks again for all of your guidance. |

I found it in the next state, was received by a guy for payment for Furnace install. Sold it to me for his investment. I am happy. $3000 and it is restored with perfect paint and hand painted emboss, done perfectly. Missing a few shelves, if anyone has some. Newer compressor unit. Powercoated on inside. The only thing I did was I replaced nonworking door light with an old original ballast and switch I had.
Loaded with cane sugar Faygo and Frostie, plus Mexican coke. Wanted an 81 for a while... |

Found it in the next state and restored with a new AC unit. I replaced the ballast with an original one and switch. Missing a few shelves, so if anyone has some?
Guy who sold it received it as payment for Furnace install and sold it to get his money back. I bought it for $3000. I am happy! It is loaded with cane sugar Faygo and Frostie. Mexican coke also. I would say it was a good deal. |
