I am in North Carolina for the week, so I am checking out some antique places while I'm here. This refrigerator is in a local antique mall. According to the person at the counter "it needs Freon" .

If it 'needs freon', the price should be about 1/10th of what they are asking!!

What a beautiful interior!  I  love how it's laid out, and how very clean it is.

Cool! I am staying in Cleveland. I am leaving tomorrow or Sunday to head back to Florida. I think we travelled on 601 at some point this week. Jeannine

Well, it's good that you ran into someone behind the counter, who doubles as a repair technician. I'm thinking that's pretty rare these day. Top notch diagnosis of a non working refrigerator. "Just needs Freon".   Brilliant!

What a beautiful vintage Westinghouse fridge! To find one with such a pristine interior is a rarity. Trying to get some of the vintage fridges I've seen restored to this condition would be difficult. Now if a freon charge would really get up and running it may be a good deal.

All it needs is freon is typically useless considering the slob-arse interiors most of these old refrigerators "gleam". True, some are not too bad to clean up but with one this beautiful, you'd think someone would easily believe in freon will save the day.

It sure is purdy!

that you could get a modern, more spacious fridge with an interior like that!
Such beautiful materials and construction!

Yes, it looked to be in remarkable condition, but I was skeptical of the "just needs freon" claim, too. Even if that was all it truly needed, I'm not aware of anyone here (back home in Florida) who deals in freon. One of our older cars had not been converted to the newer R14 so we called around to several shops to see if anyone still had some and they didn't.
