Please help appraise this kegerator

[keesh]

Hi, I wanted to get a kegerator and thought I'd rather buy one used instead of new, and I found what looks like a pretty good deal on CL:

Does anyone see any major flaws with it? How about the value, is 200 too much? Can I conceivably talk him down or is that a pretty good deal? Thanks.

Fridge: $50 (being generous)
5# Co2 tank: $20 + $15 if filled completely
Regulator: $20
Keg: $50
Chrome Tower: ~$75
Therm: $40

Looks like a deal considering no construction on your part. Fridge looks old though but sometimes the old freon fridges are without a doubt better coolers than modern minis

Yeah I kind of was thinking the fridge looked pretty old, but when you take into account its already all put together it is pretty enticing. I think what would be ideal is if it could fit an extra corny keg, so I could eventually get a dual manifold, sell the tower and get a dual tower.

Yea it should fit two easily.

You can also make your own tower with PVC and it'll save you about $100 bucks.

Yeah I was actually just reading that thread. I might just end up doing that, it seems like a pretty badass DIY project. If it all goes to hell I'd only be out, what, 10 bucks including the insulation? Not including the actual extra fitting, tubes, faucets, etc. of course.

Where can you obtain a 5lb CO2 tank for $20??

Cheers!

Operational kegerator for this weekend? Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!
