I was bad and adopted a new refrigerator

It would be a better scenario, audio-wise. Ok, then, but I enjoyed the drama of the video.

Right now it's 300 pounds sitting in a crate on a furniture dolly sitting on a hardwood floor. As Ralph said, it will be much quieter when the unit is on the cabinet and the cabinet is closed. It seems to run better every time that I turn it on. It's now gotten a bit of exercise.

It makes plenty of noise inside as you hear the refrigerant flow through the evaporators. I figure that's similar to the splashing drama of a washing machine or dishwasher.

I was bad again

This little monitor top was on the third floor of a large old house.  I think it survived because it was too much work to remove.  I'll try to test it tomorrow.  It was cheap, I couldn't say no.

It would appear that you have started a home for wayward Monitors....

 

[travis]

Yes

Kenny, I need more space

Saving The Classics . . .

I'd go on to say, "one monitor top at a time," but I know that would be an understatement.

 

I hope you can get this little one running.  MT's in that size are much easier to find homes for.

The little one runs fine.  I don't think it had been run since I was born, but it did.

Got it unloaded

I had the hinge screws and the latch strike from another cabinet that had been scrapped.  After cleaning the contacts, it runs fine.  Cooling was very slow, it was getting better.  I left it running.  Hopefully, it and my house are fine when I return home.  The door gasket is almost completely gone, so I taped the door shut.

Protecting The Hardwood

Did it come with those little rubber feet or did you have those around?  I've only seen them on later models, although they seem to fit older ones too.

I am not sure what year the foot pads began being produced  I have a pile of them.  I was trying to figure out how to protect the floor then noticed the box of foot pads.
