With no tower cooling, first pull is still a bit foamy. I am very happy with the temp in the compartment though. If I feel motivated, I'll probably construct a fanbox and throw some air up the tower.

Just an update here - I'm having a lot less foaming after letting the kegs just sit for three days undisturbed. It was hard to do!

I'm sure you've seen my posts in the conversion thread, but it will fit a 1/6 barrel AND 5gal corny + co2, etc without removing the door panel. You will need to take off the clear plastic shelving, but that's it.

I'm happy with the compartment temp, but not the tower. I need to de-ice the panel and make sure the probe is not iced over. It does hold 38 degrees for the bottom half of the fridge w/o any mods. My liquid temp at the faucet is about 45 degrees for first pour, then about 40 for second.

I've got it on the max cooling at "7" and it keeps a cup of water at 36-38 degrees on the bottom. Temps climb to mid-40's at the top of the compartment. I managed to ice up the chiller plate pretty good messing with it, so I'll probably defrost after these kegs are out and re-check temps...

Just an update: I've got a commercial 1/6 and a full corny in the Oster right now. It does fit both, with some gentle shoving ;)

Go ahead and buy forward sealing faucets now (Perlicks, Shirron, Ventamatic) because you're going to upgrade them eventually. It'll cost you a little bit more now, but at least you won't have bought faucets twice.

My 5# tank has a short enough dome that it fits without issue. The regulator is pretty close to the condenser, so I'm not sure how that'll work. I'm going to pressurize tonight hopefully and test it out. I may wind up fashioning some kind of insulation jacket for the regulator assembly. I...

I've just completed the conversion and photo gallery is updated.

I've got a full gallery w/ descriptions at http://gallery.mac.com/troy.whittaker#100219&view=mosaic&bgcolor=dkgrey&sel=0. Next post will cover materials and tools needed for conversion. After that, I can start answering questions :)

I got a lot done on the conversion this weekend. Here's a quick summary to get started: This fridge will hold 2 Cornys and a 5# tank. 3 cornys is not possible in any configuration (even with external c02 tank). It appears the entire cooling coil is mounted e on a backplate inside the...

I bought this Oster (Model #OR5005M3M) and am converting tomorrow with a custom kit from KegConnection. It is indeed 5.0 cu ft, and will fit 2 Corny's and a 5# tank with slight modification. You do not have to remove the inside door panel (although the bottom tray of it must come off). In...
