hey guys! Just got into brewing and I've wanted to keg and have a kegerator since I started. I finally had the funds available to buy a kegging kit, but wanted to wait to find a really good deal. I found this on Craigslist and hopped on it right away. It didnt have pictures, and I had no real details until I saw it, but I knew I would be able to make it work.
I got a Perlick 8184B (looks like from the 70's) with a 5lb co2 tank, all the hoses, tower, tap, and a corny keg all for $200. It needed a little TLC, but it runs!
SWMBO agreed to let me get one, so long as we can make it presentable upstairs, and she wants to basically turn it into a bar with a countertop, cabinets and a wine rack. I did all this work over this weekend.
How it looked to start:
