FYI: The inside of the Oster is exactly 18" wide. 2 1/6 = 18 1/2" - BUT, with some staggering, the 1/6s will probably fit. I think that someone here said they got 2 1/6 kegs to fit.

I was at a Best Buy in the northern burbs of Atlanta. The Oster 5.0 model is being discontinued and they only had 3 left, 1 in a box that was sold (being held for customer), 1 in a box that was seriously damaged and the open box. I got the open box and he knocked $20 off.

Wow, glad I picked one up a couple of weeks ago!

I finished my conversion using these instructions a few weeks ago and just wanted to say thanks for the guide!

I would include pics but have nothing to add to the guide in that regard but here are some things I'd like to add:

I glued in my plywood before drilling any holes. I then proceeded to drill the pilot hole straight through. Removed the top and drilled the larger hole from inside fridge upwards then replaced the top to make sure the pilot hole aligned (no adjustment needed, it was spot on) and finished the hole on the top drilling down.

When moving the thermostat housing I only disconnected the red (switch) and white (neutral) wires. I notched the housing (didn't drill a hole) to allow the wiring to go around the bump-out on the side of the fridge. The wiring was barely long enough to do this but I think it's a case by case basis as each fridge is probably unique in the length of wire installed. I proceeded in connect the extension plug for the fan.

I had issues to the fan cooling the tower that is unrelated to the guide here so currently it's off. I'll turn it back on if I start having foaming issue with my 5' lines.

I'd like to rig something up to hold the Co2 tank in place. Again, thanks for the guide!
