" . . . but needs repair."

Like what?  A burned out light bulb or a fried compressor?

 

I think we know, but why not be more specific in the ad so you won't get a bazillion "What's wrong with it?" calls and e-mails?  "Runs but doesn't cool" isn't all that hard to type.

 

I wonder what that irregular finish on the fridge door is.

$50.00...

Says it all.

If it ran and cooled, I bet the price would be at least $150.00+ bucks

I believe this is the 18 cubic feet version from '63.

Usually when they don't divulge details it is because it is fubar. I had a pink one just like that. The po "had no idea whether it worked or not". It was a hot gas defrost with a bad compressor.

I think the fridge door may be covered with those word magnets that used to be somewhat popular. 

 

I wonder if they're included.
