I think you did really well. Nice original machine. I would have gladly paid a little more for it than you did. So to me you got a good deal.

Congrats.

Looks like a great machine, did you paint the outside, or just buff it? 

Also, what's the small cylinder at the top left of the compressor area, a condesate jar?

Sorry it took so long to respond to the previous question but I had to go to work to save for another machine.  I buffed a bit but ended up having to paint a bit.  The jar is a condesate and over a 3-day period it has collected a bit of water, but not too much.  The manual says to put a salt tablet in it, but I can't seem to find out where to get those.  Not sure if it is even importatnt or not.  Take care.

You can buy a bag of Salt Pellets ($5.00) at most hardware stores. They are commonly used in water softeners. Most bags are 40#'s though - might last you a while.
Now get back to saving machines!

I'm confused as to what the salt table t is needed for.  It's not like you would/could use the water, and it wouldn't cause evaperation...or would it..

FYI... The salt tablet they referred to was used to prevent bacteria & algae such from forming in the jar of condensate water, that's all, really not required for home use..
