Which kegerator would you keep? Pics inside!!!!!!

Which kegerator would you want to keep? I have two.

I got this Haier on local CL and it just needed a $16 PTC start relay. It is in great overall condition and came complete with hoses regulator, and eveything. It has a simple design with a compressor, control and cold plate that does not auto defrost. The cold air must just migrate up the tower to keep line cool.

Or I got this older (mid 1980's) U-LINE brand which had a leak in the evaporator coil inside the unit. I had to cut the piping and braze the leak. I put it back together and recharged it & works perfect. It does have a more complex design with 2 fan motors. One for the condensor outside that runs only when the compressor does, and another that runs constant inside. The fan motor has a duct the diverts air into the draft tower to keep the line cold. Overall complex but does auto defrost into a bottle.

Hey, this is one of those trick questions, right? Everybody knows the answer is 'Both!'

Seems that you are able to fix any problem that will come along so...sell the one you can get the most cash out of.

I can;t keep both. I do not want to start down the road of having two kegs. One is going to be "too convienent" as it is.

If I were in your position, I would try to sell the newer unit for a few hundred bucks, and keep the older one. You seem to be handy enough to keep it running, and I like the fact that the older unit has a method of cooling the tap tower. That seems like the best bet to me.

Ditto

I keep one by the big screen, one on the patio, and one in the brew shed. Try it, you'll like it!

Sell both and make a keezer
