Default Re: Vintage 50s/60s Kitchens

Great looking fridge! I have always wanted one.

I attempted last summer to restore a late 40's early 50's Electrolux Freezer. Turned out to be a failure got to admit. I got it at a local second hand place here next to nothing, but it looked completely new inside and out. Wouldn't be too hard I thought. the on off and clicking made me think it was probably just a bad start relay. It wasn't. Long story short, the compressor started running hotter than hades and stopped. To put a new system in costs an arm and leg. I really wouldn't want a china compressor in it anyway, add in the freon ban it needs and how I just don't have the space, (7 week old baby boy home now ) is the reason why it's wrapped finely under a tarp on the back porch. guess I'll haul it off. Nobody seems to want it here in Sweden. Shame, closing the door on it is like shutting the door to a classic Cadillac.
