Just to repeat a private response for public consumption (pun only half intended)
The stem unscrews from the regulator. You need to use pliers, so wrap the stem in cloth first so as not to scratch it. I can't remember if it is normal or reverse thread, so you need to be gentle. Once...
Recently finished (almost) kegerator converted from a 2nd hand cupboard.

When I cleaned the lines the first time, I didn't realise that I had one of the taps on a bit. It was like white water rapids there for a couple of seconds. Fortunately it was only the stones in the front that got dirty, and I just put them in a kitchen sieve for a hot water wash.
I...
Thanks for the comments. I was originally going to make a keezer from an old chest freezer, but when I came across the cupboard in a second hand furniture shop, well, there was no turning back. The size and structure were just perfect for the project.
It didn't take a huge amount of time -...
I just posted a project I have been working on and now read your thread. I have some pics of the fridge that I dismantled YFI. You need to be careful not to damage the lines or you will lose the gas, and that would be the end of the fridge.
Peeling the outside metal casing off will reveal all...

You can see how the cooling lines were stuck to the inside of the cover.
I used some sturdy wire frames to support the lines. Absolutely important to make sure they dont kink or split. If there is even the slightest break, you will lose the gas and then will be time to go shopping...
This is the back of the drawer fronts. The blue at the top are magnets to hold the top in place. These secure to matching magnets inside the top inside section of the frame.
There is a sliding clip on the left and right that slots into a corresponding slot in the frame. These hold the...
After bottling for a while, I was inspired by a couple of innovative people who had converted pre-loved furniture to create practical and aesthetic kegerators.
I did a lot of trawling and want to give special thanks to maverick9862, cimirie, notrealdan and Psych for their ideas and showing...
Psych,
Very happy to have found this thread, because I am in the process of stripping down a similar fridge to yours. Very helpful thanks.
With mine, I have found that you can basically access the heat displacing coils directly from the outside after removing the outer casing, instead of going...
ouch!! sorry guys.
Believe me, the nut fits better than that dud link I accidentally pasted.
Here is the right one…

Some further information for those looking to connect a US regulator to a Japanese gas tank…
Thanks thanks and thanks again to CDCTx for the information about the bolt from a 15.8 x 1/2 M154RK coupler. :D:D
I ordered one online. It just arrived, and it fits perfectly. I have now...
