So, I got what I believe is a sweet deal on a Continental KC50 keg cooler. http://www.continentalrefrigerator.com/specsheets/KC.pdf I got it for $200 bucks plus some free dive trips and beer. Anyway, it seemed to be in good working order, cooled quickly, no funny noises. It is, as you can see a bit dirty, and the almost full half barrel (included) of bud light is definitely a stink bomb after sitting hooked up for a year with no refrigeration. The two hundred dollars I spent I really didn't have, so instead of going grocery shopping tomorrow I'm gonna start cleaning it up.

My questions are:

After a year without refrigeration, is cleaning the lines even an option anymore, or should I just count on replacing them?

If so, what's the good stuff?

Does anybody know if these things are electricity pigs?

What's electric condensate?

Nice Find.

I would scrap the lines and buy new ones. You might be able to clean the lines, however you will put more time and effort than you need too. Order some new line; you will pay about .50-.70 a foot for line. I did see that someone is/was selling some line in the classified section. From what I remember, these are not bad on energy. No more than an old fridge. Make sure you break it down and cleanse/sanitize before you do anything else.

Good luck.
