Well a new thermostat doesn't seem to help. It does cool, but not as quickly as when the new cooling deck was installed, and seems ro run a lot. I'm busy for a bit, then will track down a local refrigeration guy to look at it.
Looks like it's working OK, keeping bottles at 41 degrees or so.

Can't blame you for feeling blue - love the look of the DuGrenier Model W - never seen one before. Beautiful work on both machines!

Hello All, I'll be feeling "blue" when the Stoner 6 select w/ gum/mint wheel leaves for its new home... The other vendor is a DuGrenier Model W that needs a few things to finish up.

It may be low on freon, the first coil freezes up but not enough gas in the system to ice up the rest of the coils.
