The Admiral range reminds me of the one our sitter had in her kitchen. |

Answer to "What I wouldnt give!!!!"
$500.
I would jump on this fridge if it was near me, but not for $500.
Currently there are two vintage boxes on the local CL: A very early GE Combination in nice shape for $850, and a not quite as nice single door GE of similar vintage for $475. What are these people thinking? They need to stop watching "Salvage Dogs" etc. and start watching stuff like this land in dumpsters on all of the various HGTV reno shows. |

Neighbors who had our same 1949 Westinghouse appliances (their stove was a nicer model -- they had more kids) replaced their refrigerator with a top freezer Norge frostless in the early-to-mid '60s. I remember the clunky looking aluminum cold plate and drain system on the back wall of the fresh food section. It also shut off the fan in the freezer when the top door was opened. It's the only fridge I've ever encountered that did that, so I assume the shut-off concept got debunked somewhere along the line.
It was still running when they moved in the late '70s, but they didn't take it with them. It's not like they couldn't afford TOL, so I always wondered why they went with Norge. |

Many refs did this over the years, I guess there was no real consciences as to whether it helped or not, it was one more thing to break and did cause many a ref to stop cooling when the little $2 switch failed.
GE was big with them as well as FD, WP almost never did it, and a lot of newer electronically controlled ref still do it.
