I had a client who had me go fix something at her mom's place. The home the client grew up in. They had 5 of these in various configurations, 3 freezers, 2 fridges, & they were all laid out with different shelves, drawers, & compartments. My guess is it was an observant Jewish home, separating meat & dairy. They were amazing, immaculate, & deadly with their outside latches & no inside release.
I bet it works and will probably work for the next 75 years!
I had an electric motor that drove my grandfather's 1950's Craftsman table saw which I inherited. "Frigidaire" was cast into the end cap and doubled as ventilation for the motor. It was 1/3 HP but pulled like a 1 HP and as far as I know, it's still running just fine!
