Scored an old fridge for the garage

Picked it up for $25, and it works. Just have to s****e off multiple coats of rolled on black house paint. The chrome is even in good shape under the paint.

 

cool old fridge . i had one with blue flake and flames till it died

 

Nice price. Dig the handle/hardware. #0000 steel wool will work nice on the shiney metal.

 

I have 2 at home, one is my tool cabinet and one is my is trailer

 

that's my MOM'S fridge!!

does it have aluminum foil glued to one side?!?!

I grew up chipping ice outta that damn thing!

(when I wasn't chopping kindling for the cook stove)

nothing like black to make the poor thing work that much harder absorbing all the heat,glad you saved it

 

My X found one where she lives now and was wanting me to come get it. it worked and it was cheap I just dont want to see her again !!!

 

Citristrip would work well on the paint..


July 31st/ August 1st is the yearly lease date here in this college town.. There is ALL SORTS of great trash sitting on the curb right now, but my house is full.. I just bought a GE fridge of a dorm kid for 30 bucks, original retail 289.... I love move out day

 

I bought one at an estate sale three weeks ago. It is an old Frididaire and nearly identical to yours. No body wanted it, and they let me have it for 5 bucks. It runs great. I'm trying to find a new door seal for it. If anyone knows of a source of parts for these things, let me know.

I have an old General Electric fridge(late 50's- early 60's) that I got from my mother. She got rid of it because it kept things too cold. My mother-in-law has an old Hotpoint(I think that's what it is)that she is getting rid of. The dog chewed the plug off it so she said it was junk. Somebody had a thread on here of one that they painted with HOC paint. later plmczy

 

I haven't found an old one to paint yet but I have been painting & selling custom fridges for about a year now. I'll get some pics. The latest is the General Lee with the rebel flag on the front!!

 

a friend gave me a kelvinator fridge from the 40's 0r 50's i geuss. works great but needs the door seal replaced.
