Rescued a Philco V-handle fridge

I have felt sorry for this for the past couple weeks.  I have always wanted to see how these work.  I am not sure yet if I will keep it long-term.  It's so new for me.

 

Pardon the disgusting interior.

Good save!

Well, it's all there, which is a big plus.

 

With persistent elbow grease, its inner beauty will shine again.

Looks like a great start.

GREAT find. Bad mould/mildew….but a gas mask and elbow grease will go far to making this a prize. Is it cooling / holding temp properly or have you gotten that far? I'd bet those door gaskets are probably done for…

That's amazing!  Congrats on the cool fridge.   This is one I've been curious about for years too, I look forward to your thoughts (and pictures.
