This guy worth the cash?

I have a potential source for what looks like a True GDM19-T, looks like this:

True GDM-19T-F Glass Door Freezer Merchandiser - 19 Cu. Ft.

I already have a small-dorm style fridge kegerator so I'm not too concerned with converting it so much as a fermenter? Asking price is $500 and it works fine from what I can tell. Thoughts and thing i should think about before I buy it?


Side note, it definitely is not a GDM-19T because that is a freezer, this one is a fridge but looks just like the 19.

I owned one back when I had a video store. If the lines in the wall clog its unrepairable. That pissed me off. Until that happened, I loved it. I would want it running and super cold when I saw it. Not warm and he plugs it in to show you "it works"
I don't know if that helps?

abit, thanks! Its running full-time right now and have been in and out of the location numerous times and seen the unit there. He just recently put it up for sale.

True makes good stuff.

I have 2 by Beverage air units a little smaller than the one you are looking at and they work great as fermentation chambers or for storing beer, etc. I might use one as a kegerator, but will have to open the door to use the taps.

I don't think that the line run through the side walls like residential units. I am pretty sure that the cold air blows down from the top and nothing is in the foam in the sides or back.

Other than the expense, I think they make some of the best ferm chambers going. Add a pad / flexible sheet heater and a 2 stage Ranco, and you have a perfect chamber. Mine will fit a 12 gallon conical.
