Title: Ideal55 help for compressors
Post by: on September 27, 2005, 10:03:06 pm
Hey guys,

I am a newbie the the hobbie.  I have a three machines that I have aquired over the years and need some help getting them back in running order.

1) Bevco C43-12, was cooling and just stopped the other day
2) Ideal 55 slider- I need all the mechanical parts to make it cool.

Any help for each machine would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Rod

Rod,

Welcome to the group!  There is a lot of knowledge here.  For compressor issues, one of the best is Eric at Global Compressors.  He is a sponsor of this site and there is a link to him on here.  He has a 1-800 number, too.  He is in the Houston area and was affected by Rita.  However, he is back at his business.  He is great to deal with and can provide lots of advice and will even rebuild your deck for you.  Their website is www.globalcompressors.com

Hey Guys,

Did some more research and found out it is an early to mid 60's machine.  Does anyone still want to see pics?

Here are the pics.   This machine works with the addition of a t-stat.  It needs to be cleaned up but I will use it as a shop cooler.  No restoration on this one.

My guess is it is about mid 60's in age.




Thanks,

Rod
