Just picked this wine chiller about an hr ago.
The guy said it stopped cooling, he spent $775 on it in 2006. It is a VinoTemp 60 bottle unit. I picked it up for 35$! I know it wasn't free, but there are a bunch of ads on Craigslist in my area asking for beverage fridges and wine chillers. I got pretty lucky to grab this one up in time.
A couple nice features on the unit are the locking door!!

And digital temp display.
The funny thing is I got it home and plugged it in and it started cooling..... It would probably be wise of me to go over it and sell it for a profit..... But I'm finally happy to have one to convert to an incubator.
One problem I'm running into is the coil runs inside the unit, it forms the removable back section. I don't want to cut the tubing ( obvious reasons) but I'm not sure if I could just cover it with flexwatt. I unplugged the compressor from the control board, and am starting to plan my attack. If anyone has any suggestions about the back panel please let me know.
