    True T49 commercial refrigerator

    Guy stopped by my place a few months ago and asked if I would be interested in a commercial food service refrigerator. It belonged to a church that he did maintanence work for. He said they would like a donation for it, and suggested $40. I wrote them a check for $75. They purchased a new one after they were informed this one would need a new compressor. Being 11 years old they just decided not to spend $500 to fix it. I honestly didn't know much about them but figured I could sell it outright for well above scrap value. I've seen similar ones sell on ebay, needing a compressor, for $300+. And that's what I was going to do. But after seeing it sitting in my shop for months I've thought maybe it would be worth repairing to sell.

    Anyone run across something like this? Part of me thinks, get what you can the way it sits. Then I see ones sell for well over a grand that don't look this good. One way or the other this 50cf, 500lb beast needs to move...it takes up a ton of space.
