Let's see YOUR Vintage Refrigerator!

I love that little Sanyo side-by-side!  If I could find one of those I'd make a platform that would elevate it for easier access.  It would fit perfectly where my dead '57 Combo still sits, awaiting its thus far elusive revival. 

 

I wonder if the Sanyo's temperature adjustment is made by turning a screw in some inconspicuous location.  That's how the adjustment was made on the globe shaped monitor tops, which were designed for use in rental units.

 

Here are pix of my '57 back at our previous house, taken during clean-up after it arrived home, and later after it had been moved into the laundry room to serve as our overflow/drinks fridge.

Stan, I just love your kitchen. So tasteful in black and white. The General Electric Monitor Top is just perfect.

I have a '48 GE single door. A neighbor was relocating up north and was tossing it out. I snapped it up. It does run, but needs a new door gasket (which I have). I don't need its extra space right now so it's been siting in the storage area of the work shop for the last 10 years or so. Eventually I'll replace the gasket and get the door re-painted (it's got some staining on it). I love all the metal inside, though. Beats that plastic crap all to hell. And the thick insulated walls probably mean it's reasonably energy efficient.

Found some photos!

I had repainted this (was black) for my kitchen remodel as a backup in case the Philco (posted above) restoration didn't work. As much as I want to keep it, I just don't have the room in my garage so it's going to the ReStore.

Thanks Louis

The kitchen has never been remodeled. My G.E model 15 was made the same year the house was new..and is a perfect fit for the space. Most of the other Monitor tops would be too tall for he space. As well as many modern refrigerators
