for sale for ever and ever. I think they wanted something like 600-700 for it when I first posted it? Maybe not…it was pricier than this, though…must be something really wrong with it--but sure is nice LOOKING :D

For sure.  The copy hasn't changed since this ad first started running.

 

"Needs a professional to go through the system" tells me it's not in proper working order.  I'd be very afraid it needs more than the simple tune-up the seller is suggesting.

 

It's a beautiful fridge.  It either needs to be purchased by a "professional" who can make DIY repairs if necessary parts can be found, or it could become a prop somewhere.

What are the dimensions of that 65?

That '65 is too tall for your needs...

I have the '63 Frigidare model, basically the same as the one in that ad-- and I believe the cabinet is the same size--32" wide and a hair under 70" tall. I also have a '63 Coldspot Spacemaster 14, seen below. It is more along the size you'd want--64" tall and 32" wide.

There are a great deal of vintage out there made in the 64"-66" range. Happily, most are basically counter-depth, but I understand your snag with the cabinet/soffit limitations--I'm in the same boat! If you did decide to go modern/built-in, I believe the KitchenAid Superbas (Subzero look/build type) WILL fit the 83" limitation you have.

I also cannot go with a unit any taller than 83", and I think the Superba is 82" (if I'm wrong on that, then it's the GE Monogram which fits--cannot recall exactly at the moment). I only can tell you I'm stuck with a SubZero which will not clear my soffits...

Thanks for your reply...In no way does a new asian KA go into my house, I really don't want anything electronically controlled with asian boards because I refuse to pay 400 to replace one when they inevitably fail. I don't even want an ice-maker if I can avoid it. It's extremely frustrating trying to shop for new fridges when nothing is even close and the simple stat of dimensions is hard to find and even unreliable because of revisions. The cabinets are 1965 laminate, still nice condition, and probably impossible to locate in order to build new shorter doors in order to gain clearance.

Asian KA...

I don't disagree with you on that--I personally do not buy or endorse new / non-US made stuff at all. However, I would have no issue with a modern/vintage early 90s KA unit which were still U.S. made. I come across them frequently, and mention them only as they were built manually controlled for the most part, come in the 36" width and can be paneled out in a way that will satisfy a vintage-look requirement...
