I already have the extension cord wired into the fridge so it is just connecting the fan to the adapter.

What are the wires that need to be connected to the power supply from the fan? Not sure if those are standard.

Either either a 5V or 12V converter (I forget). The fan will have 2 wires and the converter will have two wires (after cutting off any connectors). One way the fan will spin, the other will not. You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right

. If it doesn't work the first time swap the wires and try again.

OK in some of the pics I thought I saw 3 wires coming off the fan. I have a 12v adapter I will be using for this one.

I just spliced the wire going into the lightbulb (white I believe) and wired up a 115V fan I got from radio shack to it. I assume your process will be similar.

Hi All,

I'm finishing up my basement bar and I was hoping to buy a nice new shiny fridge to convert. It seams like the Sanyo or Oster may not be readily available. Best Buy has a couple but they have the metal freezer tray.

Anyone know of a current option that would work for the two 1/6s and a CO2 bottle?

I just picked up an Oster 4.5 cu. ft. model on scratch and dent from Best Buy fr $85! I've already cut off the shelves and have a 6 gallon better bottle in there fermenting steady at 67F.

This model has the freezer tray, but it bends very easily out of the way. I only have one corny thus far, but it looks like it should hold two and a 5# CO2 tank on the back shelf pretty easily. Although it's working so well as a fermentation chamber I might try to find another fridge for the kegs.

random.tard,

It seems your photo gallery link is no longer available....is there any way we can see your photo gallery/instructions for conversion? I am about to begin my own conversion and it would be helpful to see how you did it, specifically the caster additions.

Thanks
