This is just the thing for someone converting an icebox or building their
own refrigeration:

This unit came out of a Morgan 461, and worked perfectly at the time of
removal. If interested, in addition to the out-of-box pictures, I can
supply pix of the removal process. The only reason for removal was a
changeover to all 12V in the boat (lots of other stuff came out as part of
this changeover, too, but has been sold).

Still remaining at fire sale price in St. Petersburg, a complete
engine-drive and A/C dual split system (two cold plates, both with both
means of cooling) refrigeration available for $500. See
http://tinyurl.com/cqf38 for lots of pictures, all of which blow up to full
page if you want a closer look.
More detail:

Refrigeration is Techumseh engine drive compressor to Adler-Barbour Cold
Pump engine-water-pump-cooled condenser plus a Tecumseh (presumed
Adler-Barbour) 110V air-cooled compressor/condenser which, according to the
boat records, is relatively new. Both feed two very large (16x19x3, 20x21x3)
26* dual-feed cold plates. Included are the timer for the engine drive,
thermostat for the 110 unit, capillary tube and all other related tubing.
With a different solution (eutectic), either of the cold plates could be a
freezer plate. The 110v unit already has the modern oil; the engine drive
would need a change-out if you were going to use 134a. Originally R-12, very
effective, but 134a will do a good job, too, as these compressors were
designed to handle umpteen thousand BTU/hour - e.g. one ton of ice in an
hour, per Richard Kollman, the boat refrigeration expert. $500 for the
package, including delivery if on the route or nearby.


Mail me at or call me at 770-887-0397 if you'd
like this/these (big package of many parts). Very heavy, bulky to ship, but
it could be done - but likely would come close to the cost of the products,
so picking it up is better (or I can deliver along the I-75-85 corridor as I
come back from the next refit trip)...

There's a reasonable possibility that I'll have this setup in Melbourne in
November, at the flea market at the Seven Seas Cruising Association. It's
still available, having not moved since I put it under the tarp.

I've been living on the boat full time during the time of the original
posts, and returned home only to sell my home and have my shoulder
operation, from which I'm currently in physical therapy rehab, soon to
return to the refit.

Offer still stands for delivery as above, but since I'm not at the boat
regularly now, timing might be a challenge. Or, come get it at the flea
market, if it's still available then.

Still a steal at $500.

Drop me a line or give me a call if any of these interest you.
