I know for certain that a tall 1/4 barrel (yuengling, in my case) will fit if you trim the top and bottom bumpouts of the door. I cut two notches just wide enough (approximately 10") for the keg to fit while closing the door.

If I can get my camera working when I get off work I can post a picture, although its not the prettiest craftsmanship (had bought the keg assuming it would fit, and had a party that day - I needed to rig something up ASAP!)

Has anyone found any rails that look nice that can be attached after the top is readhered?

I just finished doing this and it looks great... however i waited until the last step to take out the thermostat and move it back... in doing so i somehow found a way to snap the TOP wire (white cased copper wire). I was wondering what this wire actually does. So far my issue is that I can either turn it up to level 6 and have it run, or it wont run at all.

I'm planning on soldering it back together once i get the equipment, but I was wondering exactly what the wire does and if it can be replaced somehow. Would an external t-stat work instead?

in reading through it seems like it was a sensor but holding it together does nothing

i figured id share my conclusions:

i think this thing was a tube filled with gas and was a temperature sensor... now that it is broken it looks like my only option is to use an external thermostat.... looks like about 60 bucks online and now ill have upgraded to a digital thermostat so i can live with this mistake... if anyone has any imput on this let me know... i tried to PM the guy in this thread who put on the digi, but his box was full

it looks like he took the whole unit out, which i'd like to do, but im not sure about the wiring. i thought it wouldnt run if i took the whole thermostat out

Okay, so I just got a ton of help from an HBT member here, ClaudiusB, on how to wire a Love temp controller into this fridge. He sent me a detailed wiring diagram, and I plan on installing the TS2 temp controller in the door, so I can completely do away with the original thermostat (simply because it is in the way, and I think this fridge will look uber sweet with a temp controller, especially w/blue LED like I plan on ordering).

Feel free to PM me if you are interested.
