I purchased this 1920's era prohibition all copper still on Ebay for 56 dollars. As you will see in the first pic, that it was just a boiler,(7.5 gallons), and a "slip fit" cap with a 5/8 compression fitting on top, that connected to a ten foot worm. I have cleaned all existing solder from joints to be sure of no lead, and I have have cut the top out of the cap, and silver soldered the cap in place. With a 4" opening this will allow for cleaning. All joints have been silver soldered, and I have reused all pieces of copper that I had cut out of top. I am building this with minimal amount of parts, and from what I can get my hands on locally. From the new top, I have an 1-1/2" opening that will be for my :riser that will be filled with copper "scrubbers", then will attach to lyne arm. I am still debating on what to do from here, and for right now,(due to the lack of copper), I will be bypassing the "thump" keg, but will definitely add one in as soon as I can afford it...lol
