Ken, The compressor doesn’t look 100% like that, but it’s close.
Nova Kool says they haven’t sold the unit in 25 years, and has no explanation about the lights. They sell replacement thermostats without LEDs, but I kinda like the LED so I can see if the thing is actually powered and running without going into the aft cabin, closing the door, etc., etc. They also say it uses “Refrigerant 12”, which is no longer available, but I may not need it anyway since it appears the unit is cooling. I’ll have to do some more tests to know for sure, I guess. The Stainless Lobster looks pretty cool, but like its crustacean namesake, pretty damn pricey! Before I lay out $250 on a maybe, I need to determine whether or not I’ll need to swap out the entire unit for something AC/DC and probably more efficient. And then, of course, weigh that against just buying a $3.00 bag of ice when I need it. All the best, Edd Edd M.
