Jim,
I was admiring the 81B pictures again and noticed something that struck me as odd.
I was looking at your compressor shot. The assembly has a vent mount condensation pan (normally used with wafers) and you have a 'Empty condensation jar..." decal and no wafers. I thought the wafer set-up was available from suppliers.

I have mainly seen that model compressor in late model 39's (in my V-80 also). Is that a common compressor to the 81B machine? You are lucky it works as the majority of those model compressors that I have owned (80%) were bad.
I, in no way, mean this to be rude - I am so much more critical of my own stuff.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

Tom,
You are correct regarding the wafers & holder; I just haven't decided to get them as I'm going to use the machine from time to time and my plan was to use the pan or just place a jar for temporary usage... I'm still stuck on what to do with the "gray plastic" drip pan... Leave as is or paint it another color...
Additionally, the "Check Condensate Jar" decal is just a personal like as is the "Empty Coin Box" decal...
As far as the refrigeration system, this system was in it when I purchased it years ago... So, I decided to leave it as is...

I forgot to mention the CC Do Not Abuse Decal...
I have a few originals and decided to place one on the machine; I thought it would be a nice compliment to the machine...

So it is a reproduction wafer pan that you have? I may have an extra original around here somewhere...it is yours if you want it (and I can find it)! LMK
My view was that there should be no need to check condensation levels with wafer set-up (all condensation dissipates) and therefore no need to remind the operator to empty the jar.
Again....great work!!
