    Very nice Mytek. That man deserves a DB.

    For comparison, My new cascade atm will do,
    100w@-93°C and draw 3.35 Amps (230V = 770w)
    150w@-87°C and draw 3.4 Amps (230v = 782w)

    Thanks for the info, and I guess I should list mine as:
    125w@-102C and draw 3.7 Amps (115V = 425w)
    To give a better comparison.

    BTW, what is a DB

    Hehe.
    DB is a brand of beer.
    Ha found it on youtube
    The three guys at the telly are dead NZ icons.
    Bloody good ad if you ask me.
    If there is dead refrigeration icons looking down on us from cloud 9, they'd be saying the same thing about you mytek.

    Thanks for the DB, and yes, that is a funny ad on youtube

    Well I began digging out the foam on the captube side yesterday evening. Ran the unit, and I think the problem might actually be poor flow on the 1st captube (coming out of Phase Sep #1). It kinda makes sense, since I had to almost double the R-600 to get decent suction cooling (must have flooded over the top of Phase Sep #1).

    Recovered the charge, and put it on a vacuum pump. I'll back fill it with nitrogen today, and do some dissection to see what i can find.

    Stay tuned for some pics and more info as I proceed.
