it is one of 3 identical package units that i believe are Tecumseh brand i got them from a local distributor "Johnstone".

made one into auto cascade (in progress), one into a single stage ( top one in pic), and one into a chiller (one on bottom)

i will look for the rating and FPI tomorrow. but yes they are the best condensers i have ever had :)

lol, they were abit pricey I believe they are commonly used for freezer cases at supermarkets and gas stations.

ill let you know what the part # is

one thing is the U-bends on the condenser are very hard to find i damaged 2 of them and can not find replacements so i made some ugly long ones out of soft copper :(

Don't have a tube bender? They are easy to make small 180 degree bends using a good quality pipe bender.

I would re-phrase the word "wasted" in your statement to "gleefully enjoyed". :rofl: I personally found following this thread a true character defining experience. This group of participants, in my book should have their picture on the webster website next to the definition of "Extreme"! :up:

Well, if Simon sends the prizes himself it can take a while.
He made a contest in the AMD section some time ago ( sooooooooooooooooome.... :rolleyes: ) and I haven't seen anything too, but dinos got his package this week, so it's all good I think.
It just takes some time! ;)

I sent good stuff, no clue about stains. I dont have animals nor did I soil the board.

The CPU was never installed in a socket or tested.
