I just picked up an old Beverage Air BM23 kegerator from Craigs List for $150! It is old and dirty, smells a bit funny, and definitely needs a little TLC, but I think I got a sweet deal. I have always wanted a commercial kegerator to replace my Sanyo converted Kegerator, and finally was able to find one at a price I could handle!
I put a pint glass of water in it to test the cooling, and after about half a day, it got down to 33F degrees (Thermostat set to 9, the highest setting) I left it overnight, and it looks like 33F is as cold as it will go. Is that all the colder these units will get, or does it need to be serviced?
I have a couple questions for you guys:
1. What are some good websites for parts and troubleshooting?
2. Any tips on cleaning/preventing rust on the inside seams (Where the galvanized sides meet the stainless bottom)
3. How do you tell what year the unit is from?
4. I am missing the tower insulation, any good sources for that?
5. In the following pic, what is that small hose for under the evaporator unit? (It is pretty nasty and I want to replace it!)
Here are more pictures of the unit:
I can't wait until I can truly test this thing out, and finally be able to accommodate pony kegs!
