Many of you here know me. You know how willing I have been to help find parts for whatever model that you have. I love seeing the new members on the forum. I do enjoy assisting anyone with their problems.
This one issue continues to come up. It seems that over the 80 year life of every monitor top, parts run off missing. Since the cabinets and the refrigeration units are separate pieces, those get mixed up. I have been working with these units for 20 years.
If you are in need of a part do this:
Take and post a picture of the entire refrigerator
If your part needed is a shelf, measure one of the existing ones, length and depth. There are many variations of cabinets and shelves. To just ask for a shelf for a monitor top is like going into a restaurant and just asking for something to eat. A picture helps us determine what vintage and makes the hunt much easier.
If your part needed is on the refrigeration unit, try and provide the model number. Again, a picture of the entire fridge is a good start in helping older members help the newer ones.
Please realize that there are virtually no new parts or reproduction parts. There's a guy that makes the foot pads. There are a number of door gasket substitutes. There are some modern replacements for the relay. Thermostats are a bugger to replace.
