I did it!!!
Just posted a moment ago on 2 discarded fridges of which 1 is at the bin centre on the ground floor of my block. With Terence's encouragement, I packed my tools and went down to dig out the compressor from the fridge tonight... lol. He was on the way here to paste me the solder mask paste and the nano scope and helped me to unscrew the 4 bolts holding the compressor down to the base plate.

Should have checked the saw blade of the small saw. Blunt... took me a while to saw through 2 tiny copper tubes, attractive stares from passerby.
Sawing through the tiny copper tube
Unscrewed the base plate fastened on the body of the fridge.
After cutting the wires and the copper tubes, the whole tray can be removed.
A single screw was holding the plastic thing to the top of the compressor. Unscrewed it to unearth the compressor
At that moment, Terence reached. He was laughing away while helping me to unscrew the 4 bolts from the base plate. The plate is too dirty and he discarded it
Took a pic for me before bidding farewell. Lol.
Took some pics after cleaning up the surfaces.
It was a fun day for me. Found a bargain on the Amax air compressor and finally did what I dare not do; salvaging a part from a thrown-away... I'll remember this day...
