The fact that it started right up like it was nothing after sitting in those conditions for so many decades truly speaks volumes about the quality of the equipment. It's a shame it's beyond what's worth salvaging, but your conclusion was a very good outlook on the situation.

During one of my searches of the internet sale sites I found myself an old Worthington service manual from around 1952. I did look through to see what the last year of any paperwork in it says and yes 1952 in the latest years I see. If anyone wants any information out of it, I would be glad to take photos and send them to you if you want. Just reply to this message and I will see about contacting you.

At least they didn’t just trash it. I can see where many would, given it’s appearance and not working. So kudos to them for listing it and to you for saving what of it you can.

Excellent tutorial on the dangers of how stuff is stored. This CK has suffered classic acid vapor cloud corrosion! Acid (or chemicals that become acid with water), even a seeming sealed container, can silently wreak havoc on nearby metal and you don't even know it till it's too late! I've found it best to always store such stuff in sealed over packing and away from valuable metal items.

Yes sir, should be stored in a nonmetallic cabinet, possibly outdoors. The SO2 refrigerant in this machine can also do the same thing, although not nearly to this degree. Normally for SO2 to cause damage it has to leak inside the cabinet and be confined in there with atmospheric moisture. Never seen this level of external damage from an SO2 leak.

At least it didn’t end up in the metal bin. If that machine saves another or two its parts well spent.

Amazing that it was still sealed at least before the compressor built up a bit of pressure. The gas from pool chlorine chemicals can corrode almost any metal over time - I discovered that years ago when they ate though a steel shelf.

Thanks for your comment! It definitely continued to leak worse and worse after this video was made. I had to roll it outside and vent it later in the day! You're right about pool chemicals. They should be stored in a nonmetallic cabinet, preferable outdoors.

Man, that is a wreck of a monitor top. Save the parts and make a cabinet out of it for your records. Question: How come my CA machine doesn't have a port in the foot like yours...??? I think I found the port sticking way up just inside the rim... I cannot seem to get the cover un done. I don't want to pipe wrench it. Seems to have slots for a screw driver but I'm not sure.

Just glue the rust back onto it. It'll be fine.
