@rhblakeman I am pretty sure another family member I know have an early 90's westinghouse fridge. Still going strong too!

@tubageek2006 Sadly, my parents had that fridge removed and it's gone to the great chiller in the sky. Glad that I video'd it first though (:->

@bestbets1 You are forgetting that modern fridges are much bigger, and defrost automatically. An average modern fridge uses about 400-600kwh per year. No more than a fridge from the 50s, despite being much larger and having automatic defrost.

@bluenazz Even the new lockless ones can be a hazard if they are laid with the lid like a chest freezer, or something falls on top of it. Takes 2 seconds with a socket wrench to remove the bolts that hold the door hinges on. Commercial walkins have a handle latch but inside they have a release and most aren't airtight.

@rhblakeman I'd forgotten about the old days when kids were locking themselves in fridges. You're right about those latch locks being dangerous!
my elderly mother just replaced the refrigerator she had since 1964 and it stll ran.....not great but still ran. the new one she paid a thousand bucks for is a flimsey piece of crap. every time i i try to pull out the bottom drawer it feels like i am breaking it

@inkey2 LOL! They build the new fridges very thin indeed (:->

Are these worth any money? I've got one in my basement with freezer on bottom. Works as good as a new one.

@bbwylde I really don't know if they are worth money now. The insulation on the Norge was shot and the door was cracked inside. It was eventually dragged out of the house kicking and screaming during the Ontario Hydro fridge recycling program (:->
