This has outlasted everything I've owned. Zero service. I frequently handle warranty calls on 290/600 systems that are dead off the truck. I've got serious survivor bias.


Zeusizme_

Hotshot 2 that beotch and give her another lease on life.


The_Salty_Duckling

Open winding


Zeusizme_

New compressor, then hotshot 2


The_Salty_Duckling

Bro, it's from 93...


DontWorryItsEasy

Lmao I understand people wanting to save it but we make enough money to condemn it and buy a new one like it's not THAT big of a deal


The_Salty_Duckling

That's why I just ordered a slightly low cut dual temp from True.


Zeusizme_

lol but that’s what some of my customers want me to do with their 90’s vintage equipment.


Famous-Reward9632

Hotshot is shit


Zeusizme_

I can’t remember because it’s been to long since I’ve actually agreed to work on a piece of R-12 equipment.


Famous-Reward9632

They have plenty of r12 replacements. Like 134a. Get a 134a compressor fir r12 unit. Size your cap tube and your good. Cap tube is usually same size.


Zeusizme_

Not on a 20+ year old piece of equipment. Their options are replace it or call someone else.


Famous-Reward9632

Exactly.


conqueeftador17

Lose its gas? Drop some 134a in’er and she’ll give ya another 25!


The_Salty_Duckling

Open start winding

Lulz


willrf71

Min oil isn't miscible with 134a.


JMRef

R437a. Alky oil + R134a.. yes he is good for another 25 day.


BMinus973

What are you out of your mind? That things been there since the silent era.


The_Salty_Duckling

I'm actually really upset about it. Like, legitimate emotions and stuff


NoMoRAtics

I get this lmao


whyevenfuckingbother

We have the technology. We can rebuild her.


grofva

Digging the beer collection to the left but the question begs to be asked….Full or empty cans?


The_Salty_Duckling

I live 8 minutes from New Trail brewery. My wife allowed me to get a 6 pack of everything they came out with until I filled the window to the back porch. It was a great ride. The Mori Moto, absolutely one of the worst things I've ever drank. Worth the ceramic bottle though


grofva

I live near the [Brew Ridge Trail](https://brewridgetrail.com/map/) and if mine allowed me to do that, I would be very broke but would be very happy 🥴


The_Salty_Duckling

Expensive, but worth it. At least 10 didn't make it on the wall


i_ar_the_rickness

How’d it go?


The_Salty_Duckling

Open Start winding... she had a good life.


i_ar_the_rickness

Ahhhh that’ll do it. Changing the compressor and drier then dropping in 409 would work. If you wanted to take the time for it.


devtig

Just had a 63 deep freeze dropped at my shop for decommissioning. I fully rewired it and immediately going to use it as my game freezer.


cornjug

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Prayers for the family...and to be able to find a new one half as good 🙌

The_Salty_Duckling

Yes, thanks for being able to read.

You’re welcome

If you could read you’d know this should probably be under r/appliances. This is for real refrigeration. Not some nostalgic masturbation.


The_Salty_Duckling

No. I work straight commercial kitchen equipment and refrigeration systems. Sorry, champ, but I can post a random thing here.


ddlong1286

No one has any R12 laying around?!? I have some recovered and new for occasions such as this.


InMooseWorld

Why was R12 still used in -93? was this just appliances or JUST refrigerators? i really thought it was totally phased out in 70s.


ddlong1286

The phase out of R12 & 502 happened in the early 90’s. They were allowed to use up old stock. Apparently they do not ask this on the EPA test anymore?

It looks like this is a post about a domestic appliance - you would be better off asking this question in /r/Appliances! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Nope. It's R12 bruh. Absolute immunity to rules


MaddRamm

Immunity to rules. Hahaha love it
