Anyone have experience with a lg express cool gc-309bvs ? I bought it a couple years ago off someone who had brought it back from Germany. I have built the adapters so I can run it off of 240v. It is rated for 50hz but from what I’ve read it should be an issue having in on our 60hz system. My primary question is on drilling a hole so I can put CO2 on the outside. I liked the fridge because it can easily fit 3 and perhaps even four ball lock kegs at a nice height. I’d like to keep the taps on the inside if I can. Doable with 3 kegs but might be tight with 4. If I don’t drill I’ll just put the co2 in the fridge and be limited to 2 or 3 kegs.

Ok, about 5 turns of a drill bit and I opened up the drain and can run a gas line down it to the back. Too easy.

And we are up and running with one tap. 2nd installed for next batch. Will need to get a third tap after that.
