  • It was a beuty! Really quality materials, the chrome details just needed to be polish again, 60 years and still going!

  • I have a GE Fridge just like that

    .Pluged it in and it still works.

    Now that I've seen your video I'll try to restore it

  • @1runnynose Very nice fridge indeed...i replace the compressor, but it was working when i got the fridge.

    Take speacial attention on the top...the evaporator have some tricky parts used in 1940's...it's a ball shape oil/gas pump located above the evaporator....if still works i would leave as original, i had a lot of work with this part of the process.

    !sorry about my english!

  • Just perfect!

  • Did you use automotive paint? Did you have to strip off all of the old paint and did you use a coat of primer paint before putting on the black coat? I am preparing to work on a similar project. Thanks for the video.

  • I'm sorry, but I'm a purist... I wouldn't have painted black, and added digital thermostat... on the back of the unit.... not easy to turn around to check the temp... Those things weigh a ton! I had a 1940 GE... I just painted it white, it needed it. The interior was original and in very good shape. Came with all the racks and drawers!

    I sold it to a friend to buy a 1935 Monitor Top... Love that fridge!

    

  • is that refrigerator made of thick steel or what?

  • They certainly don't make them like that anymore....

    Beautifully restored
