Forgot to mention. I hate to say this but if I were you I would keep it original& use it as a static display & keep in mind that the unit could always spring a large leak or the motor could catch fire while youre away If in continous use. You could always fire it up only when you have guests...

This just made my day , Thanks for posting . I`ll always remember the 1st time I had the opportunity to see the motor room (Refrigeration room ) of an old super market & remember seeing a few belt drive air cooled condensing units still at work - I fell in love at that moment - Over the past 26...

The one up in Dallas Tx Tryed to pull a few over on my dad a few years back. The companies realize at the time of the funeral people are in grief & not thinking clearly So they move in with more fee`s screw you any way they can , Again because they realize the familly is not thinking clearly ...

I love those old preheat fluorescent fixtures with the ballast on top :)

58Limited - Thanks David,

58Limited - David, I would love to know where that fluorescent fixture is . I have familly in Orange Tx that area seems to be a haven for old fluorescent fixtures. Thanks for the compliment.

There are people - Out there that do this on purpose to get attention . They love to destroy buildings & homes of significant historic value - What makes you mad or sad makes them happy. To them its a fetish thing. Notice how they never seem to have an interest in the ugly homes & buildings.

I love these too !!!! My interests are in collecting the fluorescent light fixtures from the late 1930`s to early 1940`s . Here are a few with a 1930`s guth fan light outfit.

Forgot to mention - If the unit has a condenser fan motor under the frig , Then is it running ? Are the condenser coils clean ?
