Well yeah. What other refrigerator looks like a little robot in your kitchen?

...and 1936 I have listings for Balltops in 1935 and 1936 in two sizes. The cold control is indeed only adjustable by screwdriver from inside the cabinet. Besides that, it doesn't have a discreet defrost setting. Definately the low end model.

Hey guys, I am going to be doing the AIDS/Lifecycle 2010. This is a 545 mile bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money for AIDS services and research. I haven't been on a bike in years (bearcub and proud) and am thrilled to get back into an activity while supporting a worthy...

Likes like about a 1937-1939 model. Great heavy (porcelain cabinets) machines. I know they improved the "Meter Miser" compressor on the 1938s. It'd be a great refrigerator for daily use.

I'm an hour away and rather into historic preservation myself. I'm down for meeting up if you come out this way.

Its one of the Canadian GE's! I looked at that cabinet for a second, and I recognized the legs from the Canadian service manual that shows up on Ebay very occasionally...

You can be an aristocrat!

Here you go guys, I just scanned a 1938 Westinghouse refrigerator catalog, thought you might enjoy these.

Great work! Weren't you also making replica No. 6 dry cells at one time too?

Have you checked Retrorenovation.com yet? I recall people were in a similar predicament there too.

But its a superheterodyne space heater!

Happy Birthday.

To replace a compressor, I'd find a guy who works on small refrigeration systems. Remember this isn't an ice arena, nor an air conditioner. You'll need to procure a new compressor. You'll need your technician to vent the old gas, break the lines, get the refrigerant oil out of the evaporator...

Its not nickel, its Monel metal. I "think" they were making 3-door cabinets with Monel trim until maybe 1930-1931. They're so rare that I don't really have documentation on it. Hope someone saves this, its quite an uncommon piece.

Dave, Don't feel bad. I had a 1936 GE do the same thing to me. Remember there's a good chance that the machine was already dying and you got it when it was beyond saving. Keep us posted. Chris

I'm surprised no one's gone after this on yet. Its hard to find a 2 or 3 door with the original refrigeration unit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=140332264406

Rest in peace Mollie Sugden. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/culture-obituaries/tv-radio-obituaries/5713979/Mollie-Sugden.html

So long old friend! I shot this last summer.

Water motors... Are basically little turbines. They were fairly popular with the Victorians for doing light industrial jobs (like running home sewing machines.) Remember in the late 19th century most urban people had running water but not electricity. So electric motors had to be battery...
