Title: picked up something most of you guys didn't knew existed
Post by: c0mpl3x on April 09, 2009, 08:36:53 PM
a vehicle manufacturer, after WW2, started making fridges.

free fridge, works mint.  compressor seems to have a good charge still, and it was made in 1952, sold apr 17th, 1953.

i'll get more pictures tomorrow, the door is still at the guys place with the rest of the hardware.

need i mention a free fridge? PERFECT for beer/liquor  :noel: :noel: :noel: :noel: :noel: :noel: :noel: :noel:

I bet it has the efficiency rivaling an internal combustion engine.

Kegerators are overrated, turn it as low as it will go and stock it with fine liquor or the swill of your choice

that thing will never fucking die. my parents have an IH coffin freezer that is probably as old, and it is still fucking silent and works like new, never been maintained. they've been through 2 or 3 fridges, but that lil ol IH keeps on trucking.

Amazing how engineering is supposed to be a betterprocess than just building something, then the stuff that was engineered falls to shit after its intended lifespan expires.  I had a cheap TV, lasted 10 days after the 2 year warranty expired, fucking pissed me off, old shit my wife's dad gave me still crystal clear after 15 years

I bet it has the efficiency rivaling an internal combustion engine.

not really, it only draws around 6-7 amps based on the wattage

and jhonda, it had some cans/jars in it when i got it.  vinegar too, still in the package.  and a written in polish warsaw pickle jar

The amount of power it draws doesn't mean it's efficient.

Either way it's a cool fridge

Its a fucking tank of a fridge, likely better built and if the rats havn't chewed the insulation, better insulated than half the energystar bullshit they sell today.

The reason it does not draw much amperage is because there is no deicing cycle and no low current running under the outside skin to keep condensation from forming. ;D

My grandpa has one of those in his garage. It had been sitting for YEARS unused. Plugged it in one day to make sure it was dead before throwing it away and the bitch kicked on and ran like a champ. So he kept it.

mine shat out about a week ago. didn't find that out till when you open the door you have a burning sensation in your nose and the smell doesn't vacate the house for hours.  I can smell it right now with the door closed from 3 floors up.  CL FTW BTW.

Maybe nobody told you how its crazy inefficiency, even with 'better' freon, will cost more than a new fridge in a year or two. Kinda like a flathead from WW2 - it can take a beating, but gets 5mpg in the process...
