    1950s GE Fridge to Kegerator - with some mods

    Use a heat gun and paper towel to knock that wax off. Won't be a problem at all. Those are friction nuts, I believe, and like kerber said, they just pry off. You can kind of "unthread" them.

    American Brewery Lamp

    That's pretty sharp. Did you do anything to "finish" the pipe surfaces?

    Do this and then let us know the results. The rheostat on these is a mechanical marvel with lots of potential for breakages too.

    1950s GE Fridge to Kegerator - with some mods

    You can do it almost anywhere, there's about 4" of insulation on all the sides. To do this you'd use a bulkhead fitting that's rated for your intended pressure. Look them up, it's essentially what the tail of a beer faucet is. I'd do the hole right below the wire shelf to help hide it visually...

    1950s GE Fridge to Kegerator - with some mods

    Looks great, did you have the jewelry rechromed? That fridge was in rough shape! :mug: And lastly: Most unexciting update post ever, but another big hurdle overcome... I got the oil canning out of the bad side of the box. If you are unfamiliar with this term, it's when a flat (rarely...

    1950s GE Fridge to Kegerator - with some mods

    You're making me blush, thanks for the kind words. I'll gladly help you out with the STC once I get there :) I couldn't pass up how well the STC fit in that freezer box area and reallllly didn't want a controller on the side/back/underneath the fridge that was hard to get to. Sorry it took...

    Questions about regulator / gas system for large keezer project

    Step by step here: ***edit: that WILL work for dual gas sources. would be cool to just have a how swap-able manifold for this*** Better to have additional valves on the "out" or low pressure side of the regulators. Then you can effectively gang them together. However, you must keep...

    My insane 25 Gal, 100 Percent Hard Plumbed Tri-Clover, Automated Tippy Build

    Sorry, I meant to mean they flash off (necessitating the PPE) but are also an ingredient in the hardener. Good info that they can be reactivated from heat exposure. I would really love to see some tests on this, if there are any at all. After all, auto paint can hit around 120F in the sun...

    My insane 25 Gal, 100 Percent Hard Plumbed Tri-Clover, Automated Tippy Build

    Sorry I missed this in my last book of a post, but Rustoleum makes a very stable high build primer available at Home Depot and Lowes, etc. It's proven to be very stable, and I understand they even sell specific mixtures to specific parts of the country to help with paint dry times (think...

    My insane 25 Gal, 100 Percent Hard Plumbed Tri-Clover, Automated Tippy Build

    Thanks, I agree, this type of info is often hard to find - but I'm always happy to help. So, I tried to read back a few pages to help myself understand your setup so I could answer your questions more effectively. If I've misinterpreted something, let me know, and I'll adjust my approach...

    1950s GE Fridge to Kegerator - with some mods

    I guess this Bud's update's for you, Stealthcruiser. Howdy all, Little bit of work today - after all, you don't want to over-do it. Got the bottom panel made and fitted. Same procedure as before, but with only one panel to "raise". I had trouble getting this one square. I wobbled on my...
