You may find help here on AW. I have seen a website that specializes in antique refrigeration restoration. I will look for the link. Okay found it. see what you can find from this, although it may only cover monitor tops. Nonetheless the story linked directly below is insightful as to the process and problems one can encounter. members.iinet.net.au/~cool386/ge/... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Stricklybojack's LINK | ||

Cool Refrigerator We have seen a few Frigidaire Refs like this in the DC area, my brother Jeff has converted them to a modern refrigeration system by replacing the evaporator assembly and the complete compressor and condensing unit so the customer could keep the cool built-in box in the kitchen.
Unfortunately the odds of getting an SO2 system with a belt driven compressor to operate properly [ and safety ] are a pretty long shot. When we looked into converting to a safer refrigerants like R-12 it was not possible as the specs were just too different for the way these different refrigerants behave. | ||

To get this operational, do you want the original cooling equipment, or do you just want a functioning built-in cold box?
I ask because if you are open to replacing the components, you should be able to put a modern compressor, evaporator, condenser and new lines in. You'd have to measure out the parts you need and depending how easy the lines are to access, it'd be simple to convert this to a modern setup. By modern setup, I mean self-defrost, air-flow control etc. My Great-Uncle owns a refrigeration/welding shop. Growing up and still to this day, my grandparents have always had a walk-in cooler in their basement with remote refrigeration. I've been drawing and toying with the idea of building base and upper cabinets as homemade refrigeration and have been gathering parts from the shop to start the process. I've always loved the idea of something completely custom to a space and .. not just a box brought home to fill an opening. I am so thankful pictures were posted, I am having a hard time trying to get people to imagine what I'm trying to do. If I may ask, what is the construction of this unit? Is it an insulated wood cabinet? How thick are the doors? | ||

Its a built in wood cabinet and insulated metal interior. Looking for someone in the Detroit Michigan area who could tackle a modern conversion of it. | ||
