Anyone Converted a Vendo 159 to dry?

[toolbox]

Before asking this question I did a dumb thing. Purchased a 1948-1951 Vendo V-59 dry basket assembly off of ebay. Cost me $172 shipped to my door. I just couldn’t pass it up.
It should be the same outside size but we’ll have to adapt some hangers to get the right elevation. My friend’s machine came without a basket. This way it won’t require water changes.

I’m hoping we can use the original Westinghouse L-25-S to cool it. What do you experts think? We’ll leave the original coil and agitator motor, unhooked, for appearance sake.

Thanks and have a good one.
