How cool is that for a beer fridge, to have your parents first refridgerator?
It still has the original sticker inside the door

Now there's a quality piece of kit.   Lucky to get 8 years of  todays p.o.s.'ts. Had me stumped, I was thinking seat belt buckle.

We had one of those at our deer camp cabin in the 1980s.  Worked great.

Very cool, I like IH stuff. My M1 is an IH.

We have a GE fridge in the barn with the big cylindrical heat exchanger on top. Still works. I think it may well be pre-war.

Speaking of appliances I still miss our Maytag wringer washer.

It'll probably last forever.

And when it was new probably cost about what half a car costs.

The fridge / freezer in our kitchen was purchased new by us when we moved into our new house in 1986. Not that that's a record in any way, but I'm pleased with it. Electrolux.

We had an IH chest freezer in the farmhouse kitchen from the 40s until Ed the Rocket Scientist decided he didn't want it taking up space unused in the 90s. It was still running, and probably still is. :smiley:

Sure wish I had as beautiful a 'fridge as Roy's.

Gots the Scout, crew cab '75 Loadstar, '63 Cub Cadet, rifle and a couple of IHC 7.3 liter powered trucks.

I.H.C. and Guzzi... what a fit!

Back in the mid-80s, I had a drinking buddy in Arkansas who was still rocking his I-H refridgerator.

Does he hold it in his lap or does it have it's own rocker?  :grin:

Looks just like a normal old refrigerator!  :huh:

How about the real old types that are powered by climate change........

Saw a apt sized one in use in the 1970's

Of course you have to go out and get the ice for it.
