I don't see mechanical latches, but I also don't see the typical GE alnico magnets or the strips they stick to.  Does this box have an early version of magnetic gaskets?

It's a nice fridge, and provides more usable space than later models with spinning shelves.  Depending on how much use it gets, and with a good gasket on the freezer, you probably wouldn't need to defrost it more often than every six months or so.  I can see neither the a drain in the freezer (if it has one), nor the configuration in the fresh food section for condensate there.  Kind of an oddball model that looks early, yet has later treatments, like the door handles.

I would ask the seller to plug it in and make arrangements to see it the following day.  I also don't think it's worth more than $250, and even that's high.   A GE that's a couple of years newer would offer a limited amount of in-door storage in addition to the butter keeper.

Yeah, $400.00 is awful strong price for that 'fridge. I, too, would be much happier in the $200.00 range.

Time is on Sarah's side.  That fridge won't be going anywhere for $400.  There's a similar one that has been on CL around here for many months.  It started at around that same price and is now down to $150.

Tom, thanks for that link.  I guess GE decided against placing the magnets inside the gaskets for a period of about 20 years, which seems odd since that's how everybody else has been doing it for decades.

It seems to me that it would be more difficult to find a replacement of this type of gasket for the freezer unless there's something generic that will work.  I replaced the "bubble" type gasket on my '57 Combo's freezer door and it made a huge difference, cutting defrosting jobs down to less than twice a year.  I also like having the two adjustable magnets on the door to tighten the seal if necessary.
