Here's the deal. I found this for free on craigslist and emailed the guy. Taking inspiration from others on this forum, I look at it and see a kick ass co-vert kegarator.





I envision the cold box for 2 kegs where the radio and speaker is currently located and 2 recessed taps where the record player is currently located. That will leave me where the record storage racks are for the compressor and coils on the back. I will be leaving the doors "Functional" with the face of the radio and speaker grill left in place and fabing a couple of panels for the record player side to hide the compressor and to mount the faucets to.

Properly refinished, I think that it will look amazing. Dose anyone else see the same thing that I see in my head? If this comes through, I will be posting pictures of the build.

Here's to seeing if this comes through!

Wow, what brand of radio is that and how old do you think it is? There is a market for stuff like that, it may be worth enough to buy a kegerator. If you're interested look around in for HAM radio sites that may give you a link to someone who would buy that thing as is to restore for use as a radio. FWIW.

I agree, this might be worth more than you think.

I love how we home brewers look at things and wonder how we can make it yield our favorite beverage. I have to change my water heater tomorrow and I have been wondering if I can do anything brew related with it.

You might be able to turn the inside into a boil kettle. ( I think gas water heaters have the chimney running through the middle, though)
