just finished converting my sanyo 4912 to a kegerator will post pics up soon :mug: :ban:
 
alright just finished it here are some pics of it i'll post more pics later of the process. i made the tower out of PVC and did a little bondo job on the top to make it look nice and flush as if one piece.

:rockin:
 
thanks yeah now all that i'm waiting on is my next batch to be done so i can keg it and actually use it :tank:
 
Looks very nice ... kind of what I will be looking for ...

I see u have a single tap ... can you fit 2 corny's in the Sanyo and run 2 taps ?
 
yeah definitely wanting to add another tap thats part of the reason for me making the tower so tall so i can put another tap down and off to the side. just had to make it single tap so the mrs. wouldn't put up to much of a fight but the 2nd tap will be coming soon.

it's killing me i just finished bottling my first batch so i have to wait till this one gets down to the nitty gritty in order to make another batch to keg i just might say screw it and go ahead and start a new brew so i can have some on tap
 
got pics of the process

Very creative, good job. Now you'll want to add a second tap. :)

Looks like SWMBO is pleased back there. ;)
 
haha yeah thats my younger brothers swmbo she helped talk my swmbo to keep it inside instead of outside.
 
i got the tap handle from kegworks.com. its the one where you can change out your own lables. the actual tap i got from beveragefactory.com the extended black piece is that you see is just a small PVC pipe that i spray painted to cover up the shank to make it all match
 
alright i added a second tap to the tower. for now it is a picnic tap will put an actual faucet on soon.

That picnic tap better not wind up being the permanent second tap!! Nice idea on the bondo, it gives it a nice finished appearance.
 
haha the picnic tap is definitely going to be replaced soon probably in the next couple weeks depending on shipping. thanks thats what i wanted i didn't want something that looked like a few pieces joined together. so the first thing that popped in my head was bondo.
