Title: Second time is done right Post by: Pat Pixley on February 16, 2013, 09:00:22 pm Well JohnieG (John) Did another hands down great job on this compressor and it was done right :smile:
the owner of the VMC Pepsi 81 had it done a few years back by some one out east (can't say) but it was a horrible job and was done wrong and a poor job , John had opened a valve and there was nothing left in the compressor :oops: A before & a few afters just waiting for the coin mech to come back from repairs (http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc125/Vernors131/DSCN17991Pepsi.jpg) (http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc125/Vernors131/VMCPepsi81compressor002_zpsc88548cc.jpg) (http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc125/Vernors131/VMCPepsi81compressor003_zps9d97197f.jpg) Great Job John thanks Title: Re: Second time is done right Post by: Creighton on February 16, 2013, 09:25:49 pm What the hell?

Title: Re: Second time is done right Post by: globalcompressors on February 17, 2013, 10:34:13 am I still like the 1st one. Oh, and scope out that cool motor bracket
on the evaporator coil! :Oo: Title: Re: Second time is done right Post by: Pat Pixley on February 17, 2013, 02:04:29 pm Can you believe this person who " RESTORED" this is still doing business.
scope out that cool motor bracket John and I were looking at that and could not believe that did not tear thing up .on the evaporator coil! :Oo: Title: Re: Second time is done right Post by: kbareit on February 17, 2013, 04:21:31 pm I still like the 1st one. Oh, and scope out that cool motor bracket on the evaporator coil! :Oo: They must not have realized that the suction line doesn't have to be the same length as the cap tube. Unless the condensing unit was mounted remotely. Title: Re: Second time is done right Post by: johnieG on February 17, 2013, 04:38:57 pm Yeah, it was a bit of a mess, bad leaks at the brazing/joints so it leaked down & sat for quite a while to atmosphere, so when I checked a sample of the compressors oil it had gone acidic ( atmospheric water in the oil) plus it (the compressor) was more of a consumers grade/"refrigerator" bowling-ball style, so a new filter-dryer, line flush. so a new 1/4 HP Tecumseh R-12 rated unit was in order.
I chopped off about 2.5' of suction line, replaced the capillary tube & tack the cap' tube to the suction line. got rid of the used evap' & condenser fan motors, and took care of that ridiculous evap' motor fan-bracket, media blasted & powder coated the deck-plate & condenser coil & motor bracket. Topped it off with a new wiring harness ( although the original attempt was an impressive tangle of wire-nuts & electrical tape) Title: Re: Second time is done right Post by: msanborn on February 17, 2013, 04:48:47 pm nice, had a similar experience with the "guy back east" never again

John and I were looking at that and could not believe that did not tear thing up . Well.... you get what you pay for. Yeah, he's still in business, and I take customers from him monthly. The longer he stays in business.... the better! Nice looking unit Johnie.... no "pun" intended! :glare: Title: Re: Second time is done right Post by: rayg on February 17, 2013, 09:44:31 pm Great work JohnieG, when the compressor on my Cavalier goes you will be the first person I call!
