Couldn't take this to the scrap yard.

Removed this for a customer where I service their commercial refrigeration. Been out of commission for decades. I didn't have the heart to scrap it so this is what I came up with.

Great save.
I have a compressor from a unit like that.

Great save.

Does that qualify for the reposing thread?

The repurposing thread

I don't believe I've seen a thread like this so I thought I'd start one. Show off your repurposed items. Prefer "useful" things versus scrap turned into "art". I'll start with my plasma cart made from an old pressure washer cart. Welded some shaped round stock around various places to hold the...

Appreciate it guys

That is awesome! Nice job on showing it off.

The shelf toppers aren't too bad either.

It was literally 2 late nights after work. No paint. Cant believe how well it cleaned up w/ purple power and a power washer. A little upset that the purple power took the paint off of the data tag. Oh well

Is that a Lehigh comprssor?

Every small store meat case had one of those units. The compressor was also used on some '50s car ACs

Its a Hill

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

Very cool - open intended!

Just curious as I know zip, zilch, zero about refrigeration nor AC but could that have been made to work again? I ask because I see "restored" refrigerators back to the 1930's(?) that have been made to work.

I assume so. the compressor was seized but I imagine could have been rebuilt. Not sure if the motor works. Its 3 phase so I couldn't even run it unless I put a vfd on it.
