Hi all. First post, so please forgive any breaches of etiquette.
I am looking to build a Keezer to replace my 11 year old Kegerator, and I'm having trouble locating a chest freezer of the appropriate size to start with. Most of the information I've been able to find is dated and the models no longer available.
I'm a homebrewer and general beer drinker in CO, so I'm looking for a freezer that can fit 6 kegs, in combination of ball lock (2-4) and Sankey 1/6 barrel, as well as both a CO2 and Nitro tank inside. Here's the rub: I've only got 40" width to work with (so, 37-38" max freezer width to allow for airflow), and I also have a height restriction so ideally the collar height will only be as tall as needed for the trunk line (4" or so). Depth is not a concern.
I did find this thread which specifies a model that fits all of my requirements perfectly, but it is no longer manufactured or available:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/magic-chef-hmcf9w2-9cf-9-5-collar-keezer.639423/
I also have looked through the Specs and Layouts thread, but any model listed there which even comes close is also retired.

Has anyone come across a (still available) freezer I can purchase to build this out?
Thank you!
