I thought it was dark yellow becasue it's 25 years old. I'll look into a new one and talk to my mom's cousin to see if he'll hook up a vacuum pump to it. Will the vacuum pump take out all the oil? He thought that it would still have some oil in the compressor after a vacuum pull. He probably wasn't thinking 10 hours though.
Thanks
David
