    Antique/vintage GE refrigerator extremely Rare!!! (Plainview )

    Thats a Flat-top I have one out in the garage,a single door.The compressor has a fan that cools it,rather than the coils around the outside of the compressor,like a standard Monitor Top.They are later about 35 or 1936.Most likely is the original cabinet.Its just like the one I have but a...

    1956 Frigidaire Imperial Cold-Pantry

    Does anything Capacitor start? Does your compressor have capacitor start,they usually start to get weak and then go dead.Very seldom do they just stop working,like you say it sounded like it was strugelling.My washer did that,replaced the starting cap on it and it took right off. Good luck!!!!!

    Is firm ice cream possible in a vintage fridge?

    Chest Freezers I agree with John,I would luv to find a small 1930s chest freezer to place beside my fridge.I dont recall seeing any in my 1930s magazines,air-conditioners yes,freezers not! Anyone seen any? I do like that round-one from the 40s,its so cool looking.I know they had frozen foods!
