Older Gibson

My grandma still has, and used a 1950s Gibson freezer.

The one shelf coil does not get cold for whatever reason but it’s in the middle so it doesn’t really effect overall performance. It stil, hits -10F with ease. It has been in use basically since they came from Germany and bought it when they first moved into their first house. When my grandpa built a house in the country it was moved exactly once, and it resides in their basement to this day.

They bought a “replacement” at Sears when it hit 50 years old and that one is running along side it. We don’t discourage them from abandoning and storing less food, we are in a snowy area and only my grandpa can still drive, so having more food rather than less is not a disadvantage.
 
Apologies for the autocorrect typos, we don’t encourage them the abandon the Gibson and it’s still not stil
 
Now that I've caved in to the smart phone reality, I'd like to drop it off the Empire State Building sometimes for its goddamned auto correct and/or suggested words -- placed right on top of the space bar.  It's very persistent and extremely annoying, and I swear I have it set not to interfere, but it still does. 

 

I have a Blackberry Priv with real keyboard, so when I want to type without backspacing ten times during the course of a message, the tactile keyboard is what I use.

 

As for certain shelves not frosting over as much as others, our Tru-Cold is the same.  The frosting on shelves decreases the lower you go.  Top shelf becomes an ice cave if I let it go too long, while the lower ones remain mostly clear.  Everything stays frozen solid, and I've checked it in the past to make sure it's maintaining zero degrees.  I expect the same sort of thing from the Penncrest.  It will perform just fine, of that I'm certain, and will happily take my chances based on the overwhelmingly positive testimonials here.

 

Because as we all know, Maytags from the '60s, '70s and '80s are useless and don't clean worth a damn, and vintage KitchenAid dishwashers are overrated too.
 
Ill go along with

The Maytags not being much, my experience with them has been worse than bad, BUT Kitchen Aid is stll the gold standard of dishwashers,,,at least the Hobart ones!!!
