Title: Will a 144 cooling deck fit into an 81?
Post by: BrianS on August 13, 2012, 11:19:22 pm
Have been patiently waiting for a potential replacement cooling deck for my 81, thought a V-80 would pop up, but no such luck thus far.  I have come across a V-144 that I am going to go check out.  It is not the one in the pic attached, but based on the configuration of the refrigerant lines, it looks like the cooling system is the same or at least very similar to the 81.  Any thoughts???

     I would say it's a 99% chance it is the same.

It may fit, but I would think it is a larger compressor.

Had that same thought,  The original in the machine was a 1/4 hp.  Going to see if I can verify the size of the one in the 144.

144 has a 1/4 hp as well if that's what you were looking for?
