Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 It all started when I had to take a morning off from work to go to the dreaded NYS DMV. My liscence needed to be renewed and the registration on the truck were both up - not good. Anyway, there this older biker looking guy and his old lady is being kindof rude and Im not normally one to listen in but the conversation caught my attention... Her "... and you need to get that thing out of the yard, and you don't have any room for it in the shed cuz you got too many bikes" Him "I know, I know, I'm going to call and see if he will take it for two hundred. I mean its not like theres anything really wrong with it its a good kegerator..." Me " I'de be interested in that" So I had him deliver it to me for another $50 raising the cost to $250. He wasn't even happy when I gave him the money, kept trying to tell me about the great parties they had with it. I guess what happened was he had a weekend binger the previous weekend and spent the old ladys money to go to motorcycle school to get her own liscence! So time to do a little research and give it the TLC it needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I started working on killing the rust immidiatly. but i'm not finished. Later when I had more time, I started replacing the hoses and sanitizing everything... Before photos Started taking things apart and cleaning them... New hoses... Buying the CO2 tank and regulator was a bit expensive, but I own the tank now and refills will be cheap, so not too terrible. Not positive on how much CO2 each keg takes, but I figure the 20lb bottle I got should last a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

storm6490 2,768 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Nice! Looks like it was neglected a bit. It's a good thing someone is taking care of it now. Commercial ones that nice cost a few grand. The caster wheels will sure make it easy to move around. You can even remove the hard wheels and get tubeless ones for pushing around on the grass. Good score! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 It was definitly neglected a bit. it was sitting on pallets in the guys yard year round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Nice man. I can see why he was so bummed to let it go. Great work on being aware of your situation. Some times it doesn't just keep you from being a victim, sometimes it'll lead you to victory! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Already started making it fit the garage a bit better. Any good name ideas? I kindof like the "Think Tank" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sharkbit 109 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 that's badass! should call it the "triple threat" or "triple header" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
storm6490 2,768 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Depending on your company, you could call it the TOOL BENCH! Or maybe just the work bench. Are you going to sand down the cancer in the inside and repaint it? Moist conditions, might be a nice place to use some epoxy paint inside there. I bet the stainless comes out nice! Is that a 8by down there for a foot rest? Always wanted one with an old steel truck bumper for a foot rest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nycGUNguy 61 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The Think Tank sounds good and so does the chrome bumper off a truck for the footrest! Great find. Hope you didn't forget your license and registration. Can't wait to see pictures of the progress! nyclu3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akastormi 617 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Stryker, I like the bumper idea for a foot rest. You know Jake..... If we Stainless sheet the front..... we could paint on it........ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RED333 1,025 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I work on beer systems at the bars around town. Set your CO2 reg to 14 to 16 lbs going into the keg. If you dont pull a beer every day untap the keg. The beer will get to much CO2 in it and all you will get is foam. If you get to much Co2 in the beer. Untap let it set for a bit, 1/2 hour or so, Then retap and pull the pressure release to let out the CO2. Sometimes you might have to shake the keg real good and then pull release to let it vent. Enjoy your new bar. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 okay... the bumper idea might have to happen now... I was planning on sealing it all up with some POR-15, it gets stronger with exposure to moisture. Its UV sensitive, but inside? I think it'll be okay. I love the ideas guys, keep them rolling.

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 thats kindof the idea. get a 1/2 keg and hit a project hard. I bet I can get my yamaha welded back up and put back together in a few days with this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

storm6490 2,768 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I had a kegerator -sp? when I was in my party years. It was a really nice one with chrome trim, refer, caster wheels and easy clean outs. Everything on it was high class that could be used at fancy events until it got the huge NIN nine inch nails sticker on the door and a pineapple grenade for a tap. She was a good girl and was so well made that it looked new after years of abuse and neglect. The kids still use it back home but it has a million stickers on it now and the grenade was replaced with something resembling a pot water pipe. I tried to con my wife into getting another one when I was still drinking. My line was that it was more economical to purchase beer in bulk than in 6 packs. We would have saved money over time... Yeah, she didn't buy it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The grenade was really cool but the weight of it forced you to be careful or you would break the internal mechanism on the neck. The unit I had was just a little larger than a mini fridge and the wood was covered in some kind of industrial black plastic like a kitchen counter top. Sure do miss the thing. The temperature control was awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) A stripper or a pole? Both silly, +1 on the bumper and the POR-15. You should get RobRez to do a cartoon for the front, just have to think of a good theme and find someone who can airbrush while drunk........... One more thought for the handles would be some nice Russian Red hand guards, not sure if they would be to heavy. You would have to make a backend bracket, but I think you could fab that.
