    We have one that came with our new mobile home in 1969. It too still runs, though it is small compared to the three refrigerators that we have had since then. We now use it in our basement for beer and soft drinks though now at the present time it is used for storage of excess apples from our trees. It has only been shut down very few times, and we have had to use it when our main refrigerators died and needed replacing. It doesn't have an ice cubes and water through the door like our newer ones have though. For the record all the previous ones we replaced because they failed and were unrepairable.

    That's the icebox I had when living in the quonset huts in Durango in 1973. Some of the fancier ones had the compressor mounted on the top. Worked like a champ. The beer was always cold, colder than your ex-wife's heart.

    If they were colder than my ex-wife`s heart, they would be frozen solid.
