amana deep freezer

[epixstar128]

I just got a amana radarange from a guy and he offered me what i assume is a deep freezer.
He just wants it gone. The walls are nearly six inchs thick. What do you guys think

 

[goatfarmer]

I think it's HEAVY!

 

[epixstar128]

Not as bad as you whould think with six inch thick foam walls it really cut down the weight
Still i whould say 200 pounds

Older Amana Freezer

I really doubt a model of this age has foam insulation.

 

[epixstar128]

What should it have then what ever it had
The walls were thick

That's likely got some wood framing and some cork type insulation. That's really cool. I am glad it's not in my area or my friends would be mad.

Amana Freezer

Models I have seen that are similar had fiberglass bats. Does anyone know how old this is?

 

[travis]

The oldest I could find on line was 1951 and that is older, 1940's.

Um, No.

That thing weighs what a small car does, I'll bet.

I would thank the nice man and tell him you just aren't needing anything like that.

Your back will thank you.

 

[goatfarmer]

I'm also betting it's in the basement....

 

[epixstar128]

Of course its in the basment. I dont know what i will do it is very large just very cool

 

[travis]

I often wonder if men were stronger in the 1930's-1950's. I mean, someone moved it there, it ought to be able to get removed.

No guts, no really cool vintage appliances!

 

[goatfarmer]

Well, as you know, Travis, gravity can be your friend, especially when you need something large to go down the stairs. However, coming back up said stairs.....

 

[travis]

Eric,

Please save the freezer. You're young and your back is strong. I am rooting for ya. It will make the Radarange seem easy.

 

[whirlcool]

Judging by the style I would say late 30's-early 40's. I wonder if it even uses freon?

 

[epixstar128]

Weight im not too worried about its the size of getting it out basment stairwell

 

[whirlaway]

Looks alot Like A Frigidaire

The door handle and hinges look exactly like my 1930 Frigidaire.I personally would luv to have a freezer like that. Bobby

 

[epixstar128]

Well if i cant get it
It is in lima oh if any body is bye there

Old Upright Freezer

It will likely have some sort of fiberglass insulation, if you are going to move this freezer remove the door and door strike and it should come through fine unless someone put in smaller doors.

 

It is very cool and these early freezers do not use as much power as the ones that came later in the 1960s-the 1970s, but if it does not work it might be difficult to fix, many older Amana freezers used R-22 instead of the usual R-12 that almost all refs and freezers used, if it is an R-22 machine and you need a new compressor R-22 compressors are hard to find for residential refrigeration.
