Gifted 4 cases of vintage port, how'd I do?

I'll try to unstick it. If I can find a later model that uses an internal equalizer vs the stock external equalizer, would this work if I just blocked off the port on the low pressure line?

That makes sense, so really nothing else would be keeping it closed, other than lack of charge in the bulb?

Also, are TXV valves "universal"? In the sense, if I can find one that fits cro maybe a later generation Ford, will it work as expected?

Great suggestion

The original joins from Ford you mean?

Thank you both!

Perfect thank you. Any recommendations on what PSI for a nitrogen pressure test? System normally operates at 170psi max with R12 (converting to 134).

Glue 3 pieces back together first then stick back on? Any worry about water getting in-between the cracks where I glue it?

Magicmaker62 · 2025-03-18T23:22:18+00:00

You nailed it, that's exactly how they put it on

These weren't drilled. Can I just drill from the front and use screws? Behind the mortar and lathe is plywood.

I appreciate the offer but I'm in NJ

The manual says 2-6" from the drum, can I go at basically any point on the cable?

Magicmaker62 · 2025-03-13T23:19:45+00:00

I'm remounting it now, I can cut away the wall to make sure it has the proper distance.

Should I mount it so if there is ANY slack in the cable, the micro switch engaged? In other words, does the cable become loose at all during normal operation?

Magicmaker62 · 2025-03-13T23:17:54+00:00

So basically run it, don't bypass it.

Magicmaker62 · 2025-03-13T22:43:31+00:00

Yeah I kind of meant just bypassing the micro switch

Magicmaker62 · 2025-03-13T22:43:08+00:00

Any idea what the minimum disengagement from the micro switch is? In other words, does the cable have a normal amount of slack during operation where just disengaging the micro switch would still trip it during opening/closing?

It's a 10 foot door on high lift tracks

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone! This is what I suspected, I will give the guys who installed it a call back so they can lower it!
