Oh, Lawrence,
I wish, and you're right, Calera is in my neighborhood. I've been kind of fantasizing about a white one for the Tuscaloosa house (our primary residence), but my husband won't even move on new used for our kitchen here. Finally, I just told him to do whatever he wants here. I had planned on going older in the country house kitchen, but that Americana fridge and a streamlined GE stove would look pretty sharp with the Geneva cabinets. One thing's for sure, the price will have to come down... $800 is a bit out of budget. So, John LeFever, how easy are these to maintain and keep running? Sarah |

Sarah, thanks so much for the offer. I agree that the price is a little steep, even for one in working condition. The compressor crapped out on my turquoise Americana, and from what I researched, there's a fair amount of issues with GE compressors from 1964. So, even if I were to get this one, I'm afraid it would crap out sooner than later. The refrigerator section of our kitchen was designed with a big Americana in mind, so I know that it would fit, and it would blend in nicely with our white steel cabinets! Jeannine

Sarah, we still have the turquoise Americana, and from what I've heard from folks here in the group, the compressors can definitely be changed out. However, there's no one around here locally that will do it, so I'll have to ship it off somewhere. Not long after the Americana went out, I did find a smaller vintage GE that we are now using in the kitchen that's fitting the bill for now, but I really miss that countertop on the Americana.

I've attached a picture of mine, which I think has all of the original shelves and compartments. It did not have the original cutting board, however.
