I've got info on the PK10X/0011, 0014, and 0017 models, which is the slightly newer ester oil version.....

System I'm looking at has K100 I think ... It's in such a state it's difficult to identify anything .
I'm guessing it will have a nominal duty 1700 - 2000 W Evap at 0C; 40/ 45C cond.
The tx valve has R12 label. But then that's no indication not having a history of this system.

I was going to get a reman comp but think it might be just as cost effective to rip out the old unit and fit new con Unit. So being able to cross check the duty would be helpful.

you will struggle to find a more reliable compressor,i have seen so many old ones still going strong[that is when they are installed correctly.

You're probably right , this machine must have been running for +20 yrs. But the customer is looking at perceived value, recon compressor or total new cond unit , iether one at the same price ....
