Never used 50's fridge

[ctv]

I saw this ad in Victoria, B.C., on Craigslist:

50s Vintage Fridge - $475 (Oak Bay) General Electric

Inside - Pristine. Outside - Good. Believe it or not, but this fridge was never used. Bought as a wedding present that never happened, it sat on a porch for decades. . .or so the story goes. Look inside and you'll find the owner's manual and ice trays still in the box. Likely needs a new compressor. 67" high x 33" wide x 24" deep. Must go.

WHY????Would it need a new compressor??

If its new it should fire right up and run at least 70 years!!!

Yeah, it may just need to be awakened from its deep sleep.

 

The trip to its new home might be enough to do the trick, but since the compressor has been acknowledged as a possible issue by the seller, the price is way too high.

 

Link won't open, btw.

Thanks Polkanut

for getting that link fixed.

Me brain sometimes doesn't get this computer techno/linking business...

I'll email him about why he hasn't "test-driven" it yet, as you'd think that would have been done, Jah?

Will update, then.

Soooo, I emailed the owner....

and as an afterthought when I asked why there was no mention of it being fired up, wondered if there is a special way to do that since it's been sitting so long.
Or does it even matter??

Maybe it's $47.50....
