is there any one who will rebuild a small refrigerator compressor from a frige like this one

[Aussie50]

not that I am aware of. only companies I know of that rebuild hermetic compressors only deal with huge ones from industrial coolrooms and AC units.

i would be cost-prohibitive when you can get A new R134a compressor as a drop-in replacement.

you should blow sum flames up it an polish up the chrome lol hotrod fridge

[Aussie50]

lol the guy who gave it to me is a retired professional spray painter, and he told me about ppl bringing their fridges in for custom paint jobs!!

it would look good wit ha custom hot-rod paint job and chrome trim.

it looks to me that it could be from the late 50's

[Aussie50]

your probably spot on with that!, I never found anything in web searches but it seems to fit that era!

[gayranter]

this model was made in 1955 or later

@Aussie50 why would it be cost prohibitive

[airconguy1]

Throw in a new compressor and that thing will be the most efficient fridge on the block! I think our metters carked it because it was ran pretty hard during its last years (2003-2009). Wish that ratty kelvinator i have was worth the effort! I am going to sell it for 1,2 bucks and thats that!

Hows this thing going anyway?

If you wanted to use the freezer, put a rack just above the freezer floor to prevent things sticking! My Granddads Arcus from the 80s has the thermostat probe on the top of the freezer, its thermostat says: Off and Defrost, Full Freeze, Normal, Economy and Vacation

I will have a video of our Old Metters freezer soon. well be sending it to the tip, i will be putting it up as betsbets1, in the meantime look at the Arcus Refrigerator

[bestbetsmditowner]

Thats 1 old fridge!!! Have you made any other videos of it??? I am just a old version of bestbets1, I terminated this account and have now brought it back (2 months later) so I dont have my videos anymore:(

[MrJRamal]

Thanks I just wanted to know because the old compressors are alot better then these new units are
