Pictures
Very Nice, Particularly the Price!
Looks like it's the larger size with the two crisper drawers instead of a spin bin. That means it's too wide for my space. Too bad. No serpentine coil to avoid and the door is hinged the way I need it to be, too.
I don't see any "Frost Guard" reference on it, but it looks like a TOL model so I think it has to be.

"It's heavy"
That what I thought when I first saw the pictures. "Who put that thing in the basement?" Gunna be a killer getting it back up the stairs.

I can attest to the weight of this beast. A twin of this GE lived in my basement once. Took four guys to shove her out after the compressor quit working. Not fun.

Another foundling for Travis' "Home for Wayward Refrigerators."
LOL at Kenny!
Thankfully, I have a friend that is wanting this for his aunt or his parents. I would like to see it and see it saved. I've already broken my rule with the 66. My older women are all upset that I brought home this young thing!
I have yet to get a reply from the owners.

Beautiful, and I'd lend a hand, as well...but what's going on?
No wonder some people, and I'm not there yet, give up with Craigslist. There's some who donate and complain no one replies, some who reply and never show up, and some who reply and beg for a response.
Humans and Craigslist. The lottery seems like a better match sometims.

Phil,
Thank you. I find that people on Craigslist are either wonderful or clueless. There's no middle.
I've still haven't got a reply. I'm not sure if they want $50 or if they're looking for a higher offer. Regardless, I've provided my email address and phone number to them four times!
I'm likely one of the easiest persons to make a deal with. They need an IQ screening on many things in the world.

I only wish(and this isn't realistic..just dreaming)that a moderator existed. If a communication of sincere interest is expressed and the seller doesn't reply...the moderator pulls the ad. Too bad. So Sad. No more bs from the seller. Courtesy, unfortunately, will prevail.

Yay, it's coming!
We're trying to make plans. This is in the f'ing basement without a walk out.
She suggested removing the doors. Is that possible and how to avoid damage?
I have a nice appliance dolly with two straps. Unfortunately, I don't have an electric dolly.

Ha!
Did you tire of the cement pond?
Was that you across form the T tower in Chicago that made the paper stencil that replaced the u and m and changed it to tiny-p?
Maybe you won't say, like him about the failed rocket launch sabotage. Seriously, and they didn't take out Kim while they were there?
How many of us came down with yesterdays rain?

That took a Wagon Train travel of time to make happen. Not knowing the ergonomics you'll be navigating on and through, a rented electric dolly could be the saftest bet. Trump Tower? Ask the facilities manager if you can borrow one of theirs?
Good deal and best wishes, Travis.

Travis,
did you have to change planes in Milwaukee?

The seller called me earlier this week. I was told there would be an estate sale in the next few days at the house. I offered to pay someone at the sale to assist another friend to get this out of the basement. I never got a return call to tell me when the sale was happening.
I left another message on Friday and never got a return call. It's sad, I didn't want it for myself. I wanted to pass it to a family member of a friend.
I hope it made it to a good home. I am thankful to the 98% of the sellers that have gone out of their way to help me get whatever they've been selling. It's the 2% that suck donkey balls.
The 1966 Frigidaire energy hog is happily cooling a case of Dr. Pepper now. I caught it and a 1929 Monitor top happily having a play date in the garage yesterday. Take that new stuff, regardless of whatever efficiency it might be!

Large hairy d-balls. Frustrating.
At least you gave it your best...WTH, it was advertised as free.

Saw this on craigslist: https://stlouis.craigslist.org/app/6093354258.html
Jeannine,
The lady behind the ad apparently listed the fridge for free and then was overwhelmed with replies. I replied to her four times, once on the second ad and offered her the $50 she was asking.
She told me there was going to be an estate sale either Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun. I told her that I would be happy to come out with a friend and a dolly and would pay another to help get it out of the basement. She told me she would call me back with what day.
She may have gotten a better offer or an offer of someone that could more easily move it.

Travis,
I saw that the craigslist ad was posted before you conversed with her. I was hoping that the fact the ad was still up, meant that she still had the fridge and that you still had a chance. However, it's not unusual for people to leave their ads up even when they no longer have the item, so that may be the case here which is unfortunate. Hopefully it went to a good home. Jeannine

It looks like this pink energy hog will be coming home on Sunday. Thank God, the electric company has so much power not being used. I would hate to see someone get shocked by the excess. This can go next to the 66 Frigidaire for an Energy hog-a thon!
