Another Fabulous General Electric find........

[filterflo]

Two of my friends attended a local auction in my neighborhood that I had decided to skip. Got a frantic call from them that there was something very special there and I needed to come quickly and take a look at it........They, of course, know I collect vintage appliances and cars and radios and TV's, but finding this was something very special! I never even knew one was made...........

First a little tease...........GE front logo.......

Now THAT is ingenious! Portable fridge, who would have thought?

Too bad that idea was brought up 40 years too early; now it would probably be very popular with college students as a dorm accessory!

Freezer section..........dont have to worry about Lucy ever getting locked inside THIS freezer!

 

[filterflo]

Racks.......and they are adjustable!

 

[filterflo]

Outside rack, just perfect for those TV Guides, Readers Digest's, and Esquire magazines!

 

[filterflo]

Top, all set up and ready to serve!

Side view, and the best part about it all is it still works! Almost completely silent, and runs very little. Im going to use this on my patio and then roll it onto my sun room when needed. What at great idea from GE!

 

[angus]

Amazing, Jimmy- I have never heard of or seen one of those before. That is fascinating!!

 

[petek]

Nice find, haven't seen it before either. Was probably a little on the too expensive side in its day to appeal to the masses.

How Cool is that !

Another great GE appliance...your "museum" just keeps getting better and better

 

[appnut]

It's so cute!! Glad they called!!!!

 

[Cybrvanr]

neat gadget! Looks like a lot of fun! a bit of mid-centry styling too! Now, just wait, a Japanese or chinese company will bring one of those out in a few years, and claim that it's a new design!

Funny Funny Jimmy. That is too cool. Love the way you set everything up around it. Bet it makes a nice bar refrigerator too.

Beer box

You know if it belong to some Cajuns, it would be sitting out on the porch full of beer.

Jimmy, great find! If you plan to keep the fridge plugged in a remote location to have it pre-cooled, when you roll it to your patio allow some 10 minutes before plugging it back into an outlet. This will allow the internal pressures of the cooling circuit to equalize. There's no need to strain the overload tripping device of the compressor. My 2 cents of advice...

I've got my mission now.

I MUST OWN ONE OF THOSE.
I'm on a mission fellas. Don't care if the compressor is shot - I want one!

 

[brettsomers]

That really IS very nice. If used in a dorm or apartment, no bending or stooping and you have a work surface! There is crap and then there is this. I am QUITE jealous!!!

Jimmy,
That is too darn cute!!!
I'll take a double with a twist!

Thats a really neat fridge-Perfect for those "Home theater" folks-would be great to keep the "concessions" in.Better than that Maytag thing Maytag is trying to sell to home theater fans.I think that type of fridge was ment for early TV and rec rooms.
