You wont lose humidity, but heat can creep out. maybe that needs to be modded, maybe not, test runs and a temp gun will surely reveal this.

the price sounds fair, considering how many clutches this will be able to hold and the good condition.

Very true I didn't think of the coils and tubing still being in there. Since I have my refrigerant license that would have been the first thing I yanked out. :cool:

Refrigerant in a fridge circulates via compressor... It will not transfer heat when it's not running.

Definitely yanking the compressor out. Will be running 12" Heat tape along the back wall of the cooler and the usual water bottles to help hold the temps. I am hoping that that I can use the fans in the top for circulation. If not, I will add a PC fan or two. The the light inside is a bonus! Will make it alot easier checking in on clutches without opening the door. Planning on starting this in the next week or so but with hunting season started in PA, it will most likely be drawn out over several weeks if not longer ;)

Nice! I plan on starting pairing in January. Crossing fingers already......
