had an nightmare one day that actually turned out terribly wonderful and gets a lot of use.
next time someone offers up a FREE SIDE BY SIDE FRIDGE grab it up & with about 8 hrs work ,worst being seperating the insulation ,Isonean I think like the canned insulation (great stuff) trade name I think..... well I used a flat shovel and trimmed it all out and then cut the bottom of the fridge off square, then fit a 1/8 in thick plate to the door opening front for the, window & glove holes then laid it on a pre built frame and lastly the door which was the motor compartment that was cut off square as it was an angled shelf when still in the fridge state, the pics show the tappered ductwork to hopper the Glass Beads to the pvc cap that's drilled & tapped for the media control ball valve don't leave this out as a suction type system will feed too much material and clog the hose so the valve is used as a FEED THROTTLE (MUST HAVE) IT WORKS SO WELL IT'S HARD TO WALK BY A RUSTY PIECE NOEING IN A FEW MINUTES ITS LIKE NEW AGAIN HOPE this little home made gets the gears a turnin, bad side is a air compressor big enough is a must, as a black max wont ever recover itul' just run and run and run, then burn up.
