That should be even more fun to hang than an undercabinet microwave. With the way they build houses these days (toenailing with an air nailer) I doubt the wall would even support it.....

Yes I agree with you. Just thought it was interesting something I’ve never seen or even knew they made . Sorry for the bad pictures I had to cut and chop to even get it on the site and then when I posted it blew up like a balloon. But it s listed on craglist Cleveland oh to get the full story you would have to go to there site .

Yes, Thank You!
There used to be so much innovation back in the day; every brand had it's unique construction, compressor design, advantages and disadvantages. Not just refrigerators. Hell, there used to be dozens kinds of tractors; one that you controlled with reins like a draft horse. Because the guys that bought it already had a farm with horse-drawn implements; they could still use them.
I miss that. Now there are 3 companies in the world that own all the brands of every kind of product. All the cars are bubble-shaped. Refrigerators weigh 75Lbs, one guy without a dolly delivers them. And you can't even buy a frackin' pencil that isn't WiFi'ed to the IoT.......

Hey, I love my WiFi enabled smart pencil. It lets me communicate with the mother ship! Convenient, yes. But you have no idea what scurrilous magazine subscriptions it's signing you up for until they arrive on your doorstep.......

That's a pretty cool fridge. But it's 6.5 hours away.

All the cars are bubble-shaped. My pet hate. Fits in with their generic, bland, disposable nature, I guess. It makes me appreciate my Model T Ford even more, whenever I get near one.

Model T’s were very generic way back when.

Model T’s were very generic way back when. Yes, I guess, quite so. "Any color you want, as long as it's black." I think it's interesting that at one point, you could actually buy a Model T for less money than a monitor top.

I think it's interesting that at one point, you could actually buy a Model T for less money than a monitor top. Generic they may be, but at least they have style, noticeably absent from anything modern. The black colouring applied only to the U.S. manufactured models between 1914 and 1925. The Canadian and other overseas assembled cars were mostly anything but black.

Yes, I’ve seen Ts in many other colors on tv programs from around the globe. In the USA we were monochromatic. When the model A came out ford made a big song and dance about the colors available. In reality the car was much improved over the T. If I had a choice between a T and an A I would choose the A. Much more modern. If you can call it that. Driving a T in modern traffic would take quite a bit to get used to I would think. Such strange controls but I guess when you were used to nothing it’s not so strange.

Hi all , my first post...I was a GE MA Tech for 33yrs.Remember these wall units very well . Made from 1955-58 or maybe 1959.Turquoise,Yellow,Pink,and the rarest-Cadet Blue. Caution on these; as with any refrigeration,purchase should be made only if it can be seen while cooling.Because these were mounted high,circulation was poor and the compressors were short-lived due to excessive heat.While the OEM compressors haven't been available for years.some sort of modified system can be fitted.I have seen many of these fail via evaporator leaks...that is not so easy to overcome. If I recall original installation spec called for 2x6 wall with bolted /plate hardware,a part of the Medallion Home kitchen Pak.

Hi Ralmoho! Interesting post thinks for posting. Just saw this one posted for sale and just thought it interesting. Didn’t know they even made such a fridge. Monitor tops are what I’m interested in . But I like looking at all the old fridges.
