Even if you should have a refrigeration problem down the road, there are replacement refrigerants that work very well in older systems - like R409a. When it comes time to replace the door gaskets, don't be shocked when you hear the price of those things. They are proud of those little strips of plastic. Shop around before you buy.

Thanks for the info. How in the world did you figure that out from the data plate?
I don't think the seller was completely aware of the history, he was making his best assumption. The unit was in a brewery restaurant and he got it from a family member. In any case, thanks for the heads-up!
