1933 Monitor Top restoration + compressor pics
Hi Guys,
I posted questions about this compressor a few years ago and finally finished the unit and put it into use.
Here's a quick video of the restoration as well as a decent recording of what it sounds like running. Microphone was about a foot or less from the compressor. In person you almost can't tell when it's running. When I was timing it's cycles I had to get up and stand right next to it to make sure it was still on a few times.

Here's a link to what it's oscillating type compressor looks like. This isn't one of mine as none of mine have been opened, but is an identical model that a friend cut open as it was seized and couldn't be broke loose electrically.

Here's a short video he filmed of it running after he got things moving.

And finally, a video of him turning it by hand to show how it pumps.

The machine is mostly original except I installed a capillary tube to replace the badly worn float valve and I replaced most of the wiring. Everything else was cosmetic. It's currently maintaining around a 31-32F cabinet temp which is perfect for me.Last edited by MrTube; 20-07-2015 at 06:39 PM.
