I recently acquired a Bev-Air BM23c from CL. According to the seller, the kegerator was a wedding gift from his now ex-wife. So I was able to get it for $250 with 3 #5 co2 tanks. It was made in 1972(i think), but is in surprisingly good condition. According to the seller, the refrigeration unit is entirely original and he has never experienced issues with it. I plugged it in and it can keep 10gal of beer at 40 +/- 2 degrees -- Maybe if i clean the condenser coil the temp will drop a few degrees. There was a little rust on the inside so i sanded it down and sprayed the interior walls with cold galvanizing spray. On the outside, there are a few scratches, a patch of rust, and the drip tray cover is missing. Im considering sanding down the entire exterior brown paint and painting it a semi-gloss black. My question is, did I get a fair deal? And if I decided to sell it, what price range can i expect (after I repaint, polish all the stainless, clean out the and order a drip tray cover)? Also, would repainting it add to the value?
Attached are pictures of the kegerator in its current state.. with 10 gallons of cream ale layering
