That would be classic to run it on SO2. It would make up for having to install a new compressor. It should work if you get the compressor speed right.

Mineral is what was used with the so2 back in the day. 3GS will most likely work, unless something heavier like 4gs is needed.

Thats cool. Looks like it is small maybe 4-5 cu. ft. I wish I could buy all the old ones I am finding but don't have the money or room. From the oil that looks to have leaked out at the shaft seal I bet it is out of so2. If you are planning a conversation to something new like 134a let me know. The 1935 repair manual I have has info about changing pulleys to convert belt drive units to R12. It could be very useful for anyone wanting to detune a belt drive unit. I have been wondering just how many type of shaft seals were used on some of these old open drive compressors. I bet some of them might still be matched up or made by a specialty seal shop. I want to know where can you get the 1935 repair manual at. I have the same refrig with the same problem. If you like give me a call at 608-371-3619. Please help me

Got this unt for $100 and is brand new out of a warehouse in Skokie IL. It was lost in the Great Depression. I cna find a parts list or how to go about getting parts for the compressor. Unit runs and cool great, but its leaking andthis stuff will kill you. So can you please help me with directions on which way to go to get it fixed. It is a beauty and I want to fiix it. My number is 608-371-3619. Thanks David
