Yes

I am picking it up tomorrow. I don't know why the seller still has it posted. I didn't want to mention anything til I had it home.

Thanks.

Yay, Phil! That is one beautiful fridge! I'm jealous.

Finally, eh guys? I'm nervous. Does that make sense?

When the journey is done, I'll be sure to share whatever I can...

last night, I honestly had trouble sleeping and got up at 4AM.

Thanks for your cheer.

Phil

around Sept '64...

my folks bought that very same Frigidaire FPI-16, trading in one of the Lowey designed 1950s, and I've loved 1960s Imperials ever since!

Louie, Tennblondie, Agitatorboogie,Firedome, and all other standby'ers...

I'm picking it up tomorrow, sorry, excitement pushed me ahead 24 hours.

Roger - your parents had some aesthetic tastes. I can't remember much about our

refrigerators, in contrast, but I'll remember this one for as long as I live. The

19 TOL model is also stunning.

I still have my version of before, during, and after photos to share, so there's

some thunder left, thank you Israel.

I hope it works - and if not, it's going to make a nice interim storage for grocery

items. Not that I surrender that easily. LOL.

I hope you get those bonus "freebies" inside.

Hi Joe,

It'll include the 2 egg trays, the ice release arm/mechanism, but no butter dish, and whatever else is there. I need to ask the seller if they have a manual. Thanks for reminding me of something.

Before showing photos

As you guys can see, it was used, before resting at a storage location, as a gun /ammo storage unit. I didn't get the ammo or gun, but I asked for a manual, the upper right shelf that is missing(totally missed that until PhilR mentioned it) and the butter dish. I'm just sorting photos to post in Imperial.

Phil, have a look to see if you still have the peg that attaches the half-shelf support and that it's not broken, sometimes, these break. 

 

[ovrphil]

PhilR - you mean this?

It appears to be there, intact.

 

[ovrphil]

Is it supposed to be open, like a hook?

..since that one end of the shelf is just suspended.
