I thought I scored nicely with a 6 tap glycol chilled T-tower for $285... until it arrived. As I opened the box it looked alright, no visible scraches, no rust, no dents or other gouges, a tad crooked but nothing some elbow grease couldn't fix. Then i spotted some expanding foam that leaked out the side, previous restaurant owner didn't even clean it off before using it. Now i'm thinking "Uh oh... that means... ". Yup, the entire inside from top to bottom was filled with this stuff. All the shank threads covered with hardened bubbly plastic goo.
After chiseling out a small trench I got the old nasty yellowed beer lines out (duct taped together) but the now-partially-chromed brass shanks are stuck because of the gooped up threads. I'm thinking this unit needs a complete parts breakdown and cleaning but i don't know how to get rid of the expanding foam. Anyone got any suggestions?
