Nigel,
Thanks again...
I spent a few minutes on ebay and I found more than a few single speed units similar to yours for sale pretty cheap. They were more than 30 euros, but still pretty cheap.

The condenser has two circuits through it that are linked at either end. The liquid end I left but the gas end I cut and braised to feed the two tubes into a 1/2" tube to connect back to the gas side of the compressor.

This part is pretty interesting. A drawing or photo would help perhaps...
So on your first try, did you use the existing cap tubes? I'm assuming there were cap tubes, anyway... if you did use cap tubes, did you use them 'as is' or did you change the length any?
Thanks,
