Interesting freezer.
Although I find the "doesn't work but can easily be fixed" line "interesting." If it's easily fixed, why doesn't the seller fix it? Or at least tell us what's wrong? Assuming they know, of course.

*Gasp* Someone Loosen My Stays and Get The Smelling Salts!
Cause I'm having an attack of the vapors! *LOL*
That is just one totally gorgeous freezer. It's so Art Deco it just screams "The Women", as one can see it as something Mrs. Stephen Haines would have in her kitchen in Great Neck, Long Island.
It that is the work/detail that went into the freezer would probably swoon at the fridge, range and other appliances if there was a matched or related set.

Really nice freezer-but what kind of refrigerant did it use?Does the system in it leak?Is the compressor blown?Could be a simple fix-or a no go one.The unit if someone is going to keep and use it-would need to be redone with a new refrigation system.Would be "cool" though to do that!the thing just looks cool.---Or just use it for an insulated storage cabinet.

Would make a great mouse proof pantry if one had the room and needed the extra storage...
Thats what I would need-but alas no room for it.Come winter will have to bait and set out mouse traps.The neighbors cats aren't doing their job!

Same thing here. Damned neighbor planted acres and acres of corn on 3 sides of me the past 2 years. Guess what, mice love corn. The weren't too bad when the fields were hay and pasture, but the corn caused a population explosion.

The other interesting detail is the "food plan" which appears to have been a part of it...I'm fuzzy about how they worked but I think it was a "buy freezer food from us and you get the freezer free...but the freezer food was very expensive and not-so-good quality.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. There was some promotion at Albertson's along those lines last year. I can't remember how it worked. I THINK it was buy a freezer, and get coupons that would make it free. I had a chance to see a coupon book one would get, and it definitely didn't work out for me. Not that that was a surprise. A freezer's value for me would be storing staples bought cheap (say, at the peak of summer/fall harvest), or something I cooked up in quantity. If all I did was use it to hold frozen dinners, the value would drop dramatically. I seldom eat frozen prepared foods--I think it's healthier eating stuff I make from scratch--but even back when I did regularly eat frozen prepared foods, it never seemed worth stockpiling. Every time I went to the store, something was on sale, and when one brand went off sale, it'd be back on sale in the near future.

Yes,there used to be a DTD meat and freezer salesman in my area-haven't seen him in a few years.He would go around the neighborhoods driving his pickup truck pulling a trailer with freezers on it in boxes(chest ones-don't know the brand)and try to sell you the freezer and the side of beef---bet you were still making your monthly payments on the meat and freezer long after the meat was eaten up-politely declined.He had the meat in a couple freezers in the bed of the truck.I sure he must of had a large compressor or generator run from the truck engine to power the freezers.Was an older black man.I did buy a SMALL pack of meat from him-was quite good.
