its a good unit but they all have the same parts, I always try to get people to build there own to there own specs. most of the time its cheaper as well jm$.02

it already has a schrader valve I think, im not very informed with ac compressors. My biggest concern is attaching the new coil to the line. I am going to try and track down the coil next week and go from there. Outside of the coil and 134a can you think of anthing else ill need to get the coil...

Last year my buddy closed down his fish store and I bought any and everything from him I could ever need, including three chillers. Two are made by current and are in running condition. unfortunatly the one I need is a 1/5 hp drop in with no name. I have googled the model numbers and determened...
