I wish I had seen that earlier. It would have made my connections a LOT easier.

Thanks for the link.

Picked up the Oster at Best Buy this evening. It was marked $169 on clearance but a storewide 10% on clearance items brought the price to about $153.

I swapped the orientation of the door. The instructions for doing so were quite slim, so let me relay the following tip for removing the top cover: after removing the three screws in the back, peel up the back of the cover a bit and slide it toward the front; there are three keyhole fasteners underneath.

No way you are going to fit a 10lb tank in there.


You could have it outside the fridge and just drill an additional hole.....
I was able to fit a 10lb tank in mine with little problems. I will post pictures soon. Entire conversion took a couple hours.

Edit: To clarify...that is a 10lb tank and 2 cornys.

I ended up running my co2 outside through the drain hole, worked really well and gave me room for fanbox and some extra room on the hump.

Any confirmation if a 1/4bbl pony keg will fit in the Oster? Does it require a stand so that it will sit over the compressor in the back? Or removal of any part of the door insides?

Two corny kegs, I think slight thinner than the 1/6 kegs barely fit and that's after the door switch/thermostat relocation. If my gas/beer tube get down below the top of thekeg they pinch, it's that tight.

Just curious as to how the quality of this fridge is holding up...the reviews at Bestbuy.com are pretty bad. Anyone hear having issues with it dying after 6months?

Can't say anything about 6 months, but the 2 that I bought 3 months ago are holding up so far. I guess it's time to go knock on some wood having said that.
