Any Servel survivors ?

[cfz2882]

Gas absorption refrigerators made from ~1932-56 under some Swedish patents. sometime around late 1990s, there was a cash bounty on these because after decades of operaton with no maintenance burner would burn "dirty" and emit excess CO ... I stayed at an old rental cabin for a couple days in 1981 and there was a Servel from around 1950 operating there Anyone here have one of these in collection or working order ? Company made commercial absorption chillers for a while after quitting fridges.

Fellow AW member Turbokinetic featured a working one on his YouTube channel a while back. He wound up temporarily converting it to electric heat due to not having natural gas at his warehouse. Here’s a link to the thread on the monitor top fridge forum about it.
