3) your state may have a metals recycling yard, strictly for appliances, where you can take it there as well

We have this in our city, but they charge us something like $5.00. Worth it when I need a broken appliance out of my way.

If that fridge is that old, it may use R-12. That stuff is gold to the classic car folks. About $30/lb these days. The compressor can also be finagled to make a vacuum pump.

It quit getting cold. So I imagine it's lost its refrigerant.

The car guys are still tryin to use that?

I’da thought most of em woulda retrofitted to something current

The purists still like it. I know I do. It gets much colder than the newer R134-a. Unless you revamp the entire system to accept whatever newer refrigerant you want to use, the R-12 will still be the way to go. Evaporator temps will be 10-15 degrees colder. I still have a case of 16oz cans left.

The way things have been going, you can probably get the price of a gallon of wood for it.

And that's a lot.

Couple of different ways to copy a link on Facebook or when someone sends me a Tik Tok video like that one.

Honestly I just trial and error it until it either works or doesn't. I had a hilarious one from Facebook earlier I simply could not get to work.[/QUOTE]

I have an addon for the forum that is doing that. It's not perfect, though, so doesn't always work. It tries to do the preview for 100 or so different websites.

I'm glad it doesn't always work for tiktok. It's an evil app that steals your soul and sells it to Xi Jinping.

I'm gonna be pissed if this leaks.

The plug kit is like ten years old and the rubber cement was yellowed.

Think it's time to drop a few coins on some tires? Those are ancient. Look at the cracking in the grooves.

Almost bald, cracked sipes. Definitely an important application. Glad you found some Cheetos fries to plug it with.

My dad had a little boat trailer like the kind designed for little fishing boats that 2 guys could just pick up and carry.

He got it at a garage sale in 2006 for $5 with title.

We converted it to a motorcycle trailer.





It's tires were so faded they weren't even black any more, they were like a dark gray, and the dry rotting was so bad it looked like a dry lake bed.

But they held air so he refused to replace them.

He hauled that little Honda 400 on it from Illinois to San Diego and back on those tires, pulling it with a Mazda Miata. Didn't have a spare either. And neither of them blew up.

He loaned it to his friend Ozell, and when Ozell gave it back it had new tires and a spare mounted.
