Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and just acquired this unit and would like some advice on how to proceed with restoration. Welcome to the forum! The CK models are very reliable as long as they don't end up with incorrect wiring connections, or short circuits in the wiring causing the compressor motor to be damaged. If you want it "mechanically" restored to work efficiently and safely but not going to do any cosmetic work, you can replace all wiring and all gaskets; and it will, in general, be good for a long time. You've probably read already; but the cooling unit lifts off the top of the cabinet. Gravity holds it on. You have to be careful not to break the refrigerant lines while removing and installing the top. To get access to the wiring and gaskets between the cabinet and the top, you will need to remove the top as a first step. Is this a porcelain cabinet? Or painted? |

Nice. You would probably be able to paint the cooling unit with a white appliance epoxy to get it to match the cabinet. The cabinet its self can be cleaned with Windex and a mild scouring pad! |

Maybe you can clarify for me exactly what model this is. THE TAG ON THE COMPRESSOR SAYS CK-2-C16 and its actually two boxes bolted together with two compressors.

I've seen pictures of one or two twin-cabinet Monitor Tops. To help identify yours, we will need to have pictures posted. The CK-2-C16 identifies the compressor unit only but not the cabinet. |
