Surely, don't throw it away. I may be in need someday.

Following the discussion on the refrigerator... I replaced the refrigerator
last year on my 1994 after the evaporator developed a leak that could no
longer be repaired with epoxy sealant, so I THOUGHT I would just buy a new
evaporator to use with the old compressor. Well, as it turns out, they
changed what gas the unit is charged with sometime ago and at the same time
also changed the size of the tubing connectors between the evaporator and
the compressor. So you cannot connect a new evaporator to an old
compressor. I ended up buy a whole new unit (compressor and evaporator).
The old unit has been sitting in the garage ever since. (For Sale....
cheap, if any one is interested).
Also, I received June issue of Practical Sailor today - interesting article
comparing refrigeration systems.
