No kidding!
Being a homebrewer of sorts, I wanted an extra utility fridge to keep a few cold.
At a garage sale, I got a small GE fridge, about 1 CU Ft, with a tiny freezer in it as well. I could probably run the thing on C batteries!
And it runs like a champ. Manufacture date sometime in the early 70’s.
My folks have an old (as in late 1950s or early 1960s old) stand-up freezer that has never needed repair - I think it's a Frigidaire, but I can't remember with any certainty. They bought it used when they got married in the late 60s.
Defrost once or twice a year and that's it. Not efficient by any means, but certainly worth every penny paid for it.
