I'm in a bind and seeking advice from the pros
I recently was given an older BevAir DD-50 that does not cool. The verdict from a certified BevAir tech confirmed the compressor was locked up. A ballpark quote of $1000 was given for the repair cost.
I wouldn't mind dropping the cash for repair since I got this bitchin box for free. My concern is other parts failing in the "near" future and it becomes a nightmare to upkeep. The box doesn't look to have been properly maintained and is showing a little rust and corrosion throughout
This leads me to the question, worth the repair cost? Or would I be better off purchasing a brand new Avantco UDD-48 I've been eyeing
The kegerator would be used year round for home use. I just would like something reliable
