Mike -
Following along your refrigerator thread, have you heard of these two
places?
http://www.jc-refrigeration.com/
http://pinesrvrefrigeration.com/
And there is also national RV refrigeration. All are near Shipshewana,
Indiana.
You can get your unit fixed up, then put on the safety system you're
