Does it run on diesel or coal?
You can fix it
Honestly just go for the modern compressor and new refrigerant lines. The logo being painted over is probably more detrimental to its value anyways. Might as well get a functioning (more) care free machine going, ya know?
Replace the compressor and put a service port on each side
if he's fixing it for resale probably not worth the hassle. the compressor itself probably goes anywhere between 250-350. not only that but if he's not a hvac tech or epa certified then his best bet would be going to a hvac company that would fix it for a fee.
@cloudedcoot1426 That's definitely not his best bet that's minimum effort, would not be hard to find a cheap compressor of similar size and add service ports like the og comment stated. Doesn't have to be new or right just working
Hey! Refrigeration mechanic checking in for duty! A quick way to check if the compressor windings are bad is to check resistance across the compressor terminals. S to C should read 3-5times higher than R to C and S to R should read the added resistance of S to C and R to C. If you read OL between any of them = bad Compressor. I'm actually more concerned that there is a start relay on that compressor with no start capacitor in sight hahaha
My recommendation is to check and see if you have resistance between all the terminals(and no continuity to ground from any of the terminals). And if you have resistance, I'd order a supco 3 in 1 start kit. They're super cheap and work great
Unfortunately I learned to check the terminals after filming this. But even more unfortunately I have 9ohms between common and start but up in the k/mohms between common and run.
@@BlocksRetroRepairs dang! Might as well replace that messed up evaporator if you replace the compressor
Whats crazy is how much this car costs in the us I got my mk1 tt for 2000$ and fixed it up to basically brand new for another 2k its the 180hp fwd variant but its a convertible
Man this takes me back to being 16 and working in the mall food court haha.
Would love to see modernizing one of these old fountains. Would be nice information to learn, never know when you might could use it.
EWWW! squeaky little voice! ugh.
Are you buying to resell?
Me and you have very different definitions of One Very Specific Reason
That's an impulse machine. The water is cooled by the refrigeration part of the machine, and that cools down the cold plate the post mix product runs through. Nobody makes post mixed products anymore, so that machine is only good for display.
Um, most everyone uses bibs which are post mix syrups
Not a bad deal. That said... If you plan on using it for soda, this is a premix soda machine. It uses kegs (think big bottles of soda). Most modern machines are postmix which have soda syrup in a "BIB" (Bag In Box) and mixes with carbonated water in the machine.
Run it rich like McDonald's.
Restore the old design
that co2 canister is a STEAL
for sure, I used to get 100 bucks just for the empty cylinders like that one. People in the snake and snake food biz use them to "gas" their feeder rodents.
your bucket is not 5 gallons any more and one bad day from kicking the bucket
Make sure to clean the filters and run a lot of cleaning treatment through it. Most companies never clean the inside
It’s so cool!
Me and you have very different definitions of coke residue
😂 that is awful
Howdy, I also bought an old (and unusable, sadly) Macintosh 512k about a year back and I've only recently gotten to taking the electrical components out of it and was wondering if you ever ended up getting the 4:3 LCD screen like you mentioned as I was hoping to do something similar with mine but, I figured I might as well ask you seeing as you did this all by yourself and practically did all the heavy lifting I would have had to do if I haven't found this video haha! I'm mostly wondering if you ended up needing to make a seperate bracket for a 4:3 or if you just decided to keep the 16:9 Monitor instead. Would appreciate a response when possible!
@@ArtistTheArtist05 I decided to keep the 16:9 as I liked how well the touch screen works
Pls reply
Can you do a video restoring it please 🙏
Where did you get it can I buy it ? 😍🥰😘
Is buying the car back from the insurance company a long process? How did you coordinate that with them after they cut you the check?
No, that tv can not play doom, it can display doom. Just saying.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for doing this!
It’s test drive unlimited with arcade machines 😂
I'd caution against getting excited about the jukebox market
They probably use the main boards at other locations to keep em up or something we do that at Dave and busters when we scrap a game
digital sega sound board is from a Top Skater and not daytona 2. The little board in the corner is for flashing the lights in front of the game. The sound boards are for a sub and 2 speakers and is pretty easily put in any other game with the rca plugs. Also hang pilot is (was!)...612KG. which is why I only have the board now and not the rest of the machine.
LMAO I would have done the same if my circumstances were different. 5:00 what's that socc er game? 13:57 I put Top Score is online but it'd be great for 300 to go up too
That's actually a coin pusher "Soccer shot"
These will be used as training data for LLM's. You are a champ for doing this. Research as well as info for retro gamers. Programming manuals for old computers will help people who want to prompt for new software for old machines.
just skimming through because I'm interested in archiving and OMG IS THAT A SHOOT AWAY lol
@@cpi23 Yes it is an original Namco Shoot Away
SCAN ALL THE THINGS!! wooooo
Block's it deals with the paper type on those schematics. It's easier at the scale to print from rolls and just make it fit. When you create extra pages you have to trace out all the lines and make sure they have corresponding tags for the electrician to follow. Well done getting these scanned!
Thanks for your contributions to our hobby!
CensorTube won't let me say the truth about Cosby. Actually look into the case, it was absolute injustice.
Good on you.
Amazing. Great job!
Your voice sounds like someone who sniffs women’s hair from behind on the bus
It’s so cool. I had an Admiral but had issues.
Torille?
Pretty neat! Is that battery cover file available for download?
thanks for the vid! i just fixed my port as well. i took it apart and forgot which connectors get connected inside. which of the top 4 pin headers is the one plugged in? there are 2 up top but only one cable. AAAAnnnd i'm assuming the 2 pin wire goes on the bottom near the 3 pin and not in the center of the device?
This battered Air 1 eeeeaaaaasily takes the cake for most Mad Max-esque flying jalopy ever! I love how it's got 4 propellers of 52 types! I think it's touched more trees than GreenPeace. Wow. Congrats on getting it running!
What the hell did I just watch. You didn't really fix anything.
Post your TikToks to TH-cam Shorts! I deleted TikTok and I miss your content.
I wonder if you got any parts for the light gun..😅
Did you need to do that tiny wire because you changed the port or because you broke something?
