[COLOR=#222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal]VINTAGE!!! Rare, 1964 Whirlpool refrigerator with bottom freezer. Model #ELB-19MM. Color - retro brown. Contains original shelving and bins, rotating main shelf, cheese and butter storage, ice cube holder and freezer rack. Only pieces missing are the original bottom shelf, which I replaced with metal wire rack, and original ice cube maker. Fridge works great. Freezer has a small drip that creates ice buildup over a period of 2 weeks or so. [/COLOR]<br style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;" />[COLOR=#222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal]Minor cosmetic flaws - scratch on freezer face, crack on interior freezer shelf, broken original glass on top fridge shelf (can be replaced). Item has been in continuous use for FIFTY years!!![/COLOR]<br style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;" />[COLOR=#222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal]Would make a great retro kitchen piece or fit for KEGERATOR. [/COLOR]<br style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;" />[COLOR=#222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal]WARNING - due to age of product, it is EXTREMELY important that you properly ground before plugging in. 1960's wiring was very different and could cause shock. Contact an electrician if you are not sure. $200 OBO - similar items are VERY hard to find in working order with original parts. Would ask more, but it is taking up space in the garage since we replaced it for a newer model during upgrade.[/COLOR]<br style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;" />[COLOR=#222222; font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal]Pick up only. Will help load. State Campus area of Albany.[/COLOR]

"Freezer has a small drip . . ."

In other words, the heater under the freezer floor (or trough) that routes defrost water to the drain no longer works.

 

I've had experience with a couple of Coldspot models from earlier in the '60s and they both had this problem.  I'm sure the factory repair assembly has been NLA for a few decades.

 

That bottom shelf in the fridge would be tough to locate as well.

 

Too bad.  It's a rare and beautiful fridge, even though it's coppertone.

That's an awful high lift for a kegorator. Just sayin....

In Spite of Coppertone...

That thing is eye candy to me….I'd stare at it all day, working or not
