The money pit 1986 1:14 in Tom Hanks almost dumps a bucket of water on what I guess is a CK machine. Could be a CA form B I suppose. This entire clip is worth watching in my opinion, multiple times even. youtu.be/GSGMDHMAJrYOllie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss by Jean Shepherd Starting at 0:46 in this video but they can be seen quite a few times through this clip and the entire move. I'm sure others will notice, but the top is fake when they are moving it. This was the first place I ever saw a MT and have wanted one ever since. youtu.be/0x4Sq1l90s8

Has anyone else seen this? Its a really interesting animation of a DR unit. I wonder if the way they show the float working is actually how it works? I thought it was more of a modulating type device? Turn your sound all the way off as it is silent and there is an annoying clicking sound during the video. youtu.be/QvJNlpvETA8

That's an excellent find, Chris! I can't believe how easy the two installation guys made it look just lowering the top on...but being a DR1 helped. It's remarkable how reliable the DR's are when internally there seems to be more parts and complexity than the later models. The float operation had me curious too. Does it fill and release, or is there a continuous flow? Wasn't there a transparent monitor top mechanism made for demonstration somewhere? While we're on the DR, here's another from the same source; it deals with the control operation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NTKCZiTjKU

Late model CF's (1940 model numbers were quoted) are shown here www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG5LAyAfq8kInteresting to learn about the white Textolite and that the screws are stainless steel.

Ok now I want a box with white Textolite. I think this is the first I have heard of it. Those are some great frigs with some cutting edge shelving technology.

I remember seeing a DR1 in Barney Fifes apartment in an episode of the Andy Griffith show several years ago. I can't remember which episode but I know it was an early one, like maybe early 60's. The DR1 looked to be maybe a 1932.

Everything is so lifelike and just like the actual components. However I am amazed that the float valve in the film is exactly what you would expect, a beveled seat with a beveled needle. But the one I have torn down is just a hole drilled in the seat plate with square edges and the needled is beveled like in the film

This isn't a monitor top but it reminds me a lot of the baffles in the evaporator and the purpose they serve. Watch to the end to see what a protection tube does inside the boiler. youtu.be/HG0M9wPDnzY

We have a B-7-C Deluxe, with gray Textolite breaker-strips which was given to us by friends who were liquidating a deceased relative's household. It has been doing everyday duty in our kitchen since my wife's 1981 Gibson died, about 11 years ago... Good old G.E. !

This CF is interesting because it shows a rare Freon 12 version of the Scotch Yoke compressor. The owner isn't sure of the year, but the cabinet model tells me it's 1940 (along with the flutes on the front). For SO2 Scotch Yoke owners, a question - how does the Freon 12 sound of this compare? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j5OVl6uJvo

Sounds louder to me than my 38 flat top. Kinda sounds like it needs a restrictor in the suction line. Cool frig that looks like it is in great shape still.
