This is a working, very good condition, original 1937 General Electric refrigerator. Where are you going to find another one in this good of shape? It was in a 1920s house in Long Beach, then I moved it to lovely Fresno. I'm looking for a collector that wants to buy a very nice original machine.
Price: $1117
The refrigeration unit and door are removed from the cabinet. PM me for full-size pictures, information, etc.

The bottom plastic piece on the cabinet has damage (I guess that some fairly heavy things were dropped during the ~90 years of use of the frig).

It might just be worth unscrewing the Textolite (the black 'plastic' piece) to see what's underneath. My CA-1 had that, although not to quite the same degree, and the reason was extensive rust underneath, which had spread throughout inside of the cabinet. That was despite the exterior looking so good it didn't need repainting. The cause was an incorrectly installed door seal, which had allowed moisture to condense on the inside of the cabinet. |

I removed the Textolite and I don't see rust. There's insulation that I can push down a bit, but I don't want to take it out and screw it up. Does that sound sufficient for checking for rust, or is there more I should do? I want someone to know what they're getting, if they buy this refrigerator.

If the paper insulation is all dry and you see no rust, it should all be good.

If the insulation down there is nice and dry, you are good. You may want to exchange the top and bottom Textolite strips so that the visible crack is at the top, facing downward and it's less noticeable. |
