You can see in the picture that the top panel is badly deformed; however, I will try to make or get another cover for it so that you have something presentable. In any case, once the machine is placed on the bin, the top will be up above 6 feet and out of sight anyways. The bin you see in the picture does have feet; I simply unscrewed them to make it easier to load on and off my trailer. I do also have the door to the bin; I just left it off so that it wouldn't blow off while riding down the road in my trailer. Everything works great on this machine; it makes piles of ice as it should. The only thing I noticed is the condenser fan motor has a lot of play, so I will replace that before I sell it to you, as I do not want that to become an issue later. I know the photos kind of make this thing look like a piece of junk the way it is just sitting there in my trailer on blocks (to compensate for unlevel ground so I could run the machine for a bit), but it is actually a very nice machine once it is installed in place with all its covers. I will try to get someone to help me put it back up onto its bin later and get some better pictures of it so you see what it will really look like. But as you can see in the pictures, this machine has not been abused. The top cover blew off on the highway; that's the only reason why that is messed up. Nothing happened to the rest of the machine. The compressor sounds great, the water pump sounds great, everything except for the condenser fan, which I will replace before sale. Any time you are shopping for a used ice machine, you want to pay extra special attention to the condition of the evaporator plate, because that is the main part of any ice machine that is usually far too expensive to replace, and it usually goes bad before the compressor does anyways. With this style of ice machine, a Hoshizaki, what eventually starts to happen, but usually not until after 10-15 years, is the stainless steel portion of the plate begins to separate from the copper refrigeration tubing, which leads to inefficient operation and eventually rendering the machine inoperable. I checked the plate on this machine, and I see absolutely no evidence of any separation. And since that process of separation is due to the gradual corrosive effects of the water running through the machine, the color of the copper refrigeration tubing running through the evaporator is a good visual indicator of how far along that process is. You can see in the one close-up picture I have posted that the copper in the evaporator plate still looks somewhat bright, so it's little surprise that there is no separation. I am planning a trip to the Chattanooga area of Tennessee very soon, so if you live in the southeastern states, I can deliver it for much less than what freight would cost. Please send me a message about any details as soon as possible so that I can make arrangements to bring it with me if you are interested. Thanks.
