Psychodad, How did it work out? I just bought one from Home Depot for $350 (scratch and dent) and have the same huge temp differential. Just where is the bulb for the thermocouple? I was so ticked off that I ordered a $100 industrial temp controller. I think I need to hotwire it to the compressor, so the fan (?) will still work. My keg temp on the outside has been holding at 41.5 to 43 degrees. Not sure what the liquid temp is, but I'll bet it is somewhere around 41 degrees. RESULT.... my MGD is a foamy mess. Took the co2 down to 5 psi and slowed the foam a little. At least I can get 3/4 glass of beer after it settles out. I will try to find the temp bulb and soak it.(hopefullly it is waterproof?)
One more thing, is the tower not being cooled a problem? It has minimal insulation. The spigot will condensate after the first draw, so I am thinking the warm tower effect only applies the the first draw.
B-Belly
