I too looked at the site on this dieselgeek cooler and have questions.

Do we have among the list membership anyone who is competent,
professional and suffieciently equipped to dismantle one of these things
and give us a report back on the findings. Perhaps contributions for the
purchase of and donation of the unit for this purpose could be arranged.
This info then could be recorded in the archives and become a matter of
record for future reference.

Just an idea.
