    you'd be amazed what sears can get as far as appliance parts, dont call-go in and take reference parts, get a hard start kit for it while you're at it.

    Mechanically speaking, 1940s and 1950s refrigerators are dead simple and easily repaired. The challenge is overcoming our throwaway/modern-is-more-efficient (untrue for fridges) mentality to get information.

    If it still has freon and the compressor isn't seized it'll work again. Good luck.
