I just got my compressor today, it's out of an upright freezer.
All it cost me was a few hours labor. I spent 4 hours removing it from the freezer, but I removed it entirely in-tact with both coils. The evaporator coil wraped the entire 25 cu ft compartment and coiled the underside of all four shelves in the upright.
The condensor coil also wrapped the entire compartment just separated from the evaporaor coil by three inches of fiberglass insulation.
Unfortunately I can't read the label, It has some black hard goop over most of the label.........it really looks like under coating I will attempt to clean it later.
After taking a short break I decided to fire it up and wooooooooohooo!!! ice was forming in just over two minutes, after ten minutes the whole evaporator coil had a layer of ice about 1/8 inch thick and this was outside in 78 degree temps.
All I could make out on the label was-------
high side 235
low side 140
110 volt
4.7 amp

:D

sounds like you got a nice deal. gonna make a water chiller out of it?
I'm going to use it for a homemade phase change setup, I'm currently building a case that will house everthing including water cooling for GPU and NB.
