New to me Frigidaire FPI-16BKCH

[travis]

Here are some better pictures of this beautiful fridge.  In spite of it running the meter, it's very nice.  I am not really sure why anyone advocating for vintage appliances would get hung up of energy use, whether that be water with washers or electric for refrigerators.

 

I got the worst of the previous owners crud off of it.  The freezer gasket is deteriorating, though is fine if I don't try to clean it.  I was very amused to learn how to use the ice trays, fancy!

 

There's still some specs on the freezer door.

Travis~ I Love it!

And am gonna pester you until you sell it to me Next to my '63 Frigidaire, this one is my all-time favorite (well, the 19 cu.ft version…but a 16 would please me to no end).

Rust spots

BTW--have you tracked down the source of the old rust areas on the panel below the freezer? My '63 has those as well, and I don't know if it was from a formerly-blocked freezer drain, or what. Just sort of curious...

Congratulations Travis!  I'm glad you were able to save it!!

Allen,

 

That's dirty tape below the freezer.  I am space challenged in the garage now.  I can't do much more cleaning.  I am not 100% sure what to do with it.  I do like that it has an actual freezer, unlike my beloved monitor tops.

 

My ball top is going to the painter on the 10th.  I swear I will be gaining some room shortly.
