I've yet to bring it home but I've bought this for 50 bucks, with only seeing this photo. Can anyone tell me what year and model it may be? I typically just restore furniture, work on antique cars, as well as vintage TV's and radios. I figure that once I find out the particulars of this beauty I will be able to get it running.  |

Very nice! That is a 1933 model. That is a one year only model CA Form "A" machine. It looks like a CA-1 model in the smaller size "1" cabinet.
We can help you get it going! The CA models are sometimes more fussy to get running but they are not that bad once you understand what makes them tick.
EDIT: Be sure to look at the CA machines section on the forum. Lots of info, including the factory service manual.
Sincerely,
David

Thank you so much for the identification!
I'm just very excited about this old fridge. I can't wait to learn everything that there is about it.
Yes, I'm a bit addicted to antiques and this has the potential to become a true show piece in my home.

Yes, I'm a bit addicted to antiques and this has the potential to become a true show piece in my home. Antiques are a lot of fun to locate, repair, and enjoy. You have a nice one here. The CA Form A machines are one of the most unique models. As said, only one year of that "soup can" condenser drum. The open-coil DR and D series were made several years; the CK was made for several years. The CA Form A looks entirely different from the DR D and CK machines and was one-year only. The CA Form B was also a one-year model but it is almost identical in appearance to the CK, so not as distinguishable. |
