Hello everyone,
I got this old reclaim machine because of the quality of the case. Its all aluminum and the panels are held on by screws. The fan works really good but the coil is in bad shape.
I think a little sanding and some fresh paint it will look great. What do you guys think?

If it has a hermetic compressor rather than a oil-less pump you will need to match the oil in the compressor to that of the system your recovering from. Some good evaporator cleaner should sparkle the aluminum and copper right ( I like the foaming type)..

Do you wanna Play Thermodynamics ????????I forgot "you must"
Most of the coil is fine but it is corroded and falling apart on that one side. I'm going to try some coil cleaner and see what it looks like before I try to match it up with a new one. I have an existing ss that I built and plan on installing in this case just can't reuse the condenser coil. Oh I mounted the fan/shroud to the coil and its loud. Wired a speed controller inline to slow and silence the fan but it howls on anything but high. It is a fan speed control, I just don't know if the fan is compatible with a solid state controller or if the fan is shot.
