New GE fridge project
I pulled this out of an old house yesterday. Starting to tear it down. Im planning on putting new insulation in it, taking a stab at painting it, and polishing all of the trim. Im thinking some shade of green, maybe red.
I guess I will have to check around to see if someone can repair it or replace some parts on it to make it work. Its in pretty good shape, two small dents, missing some racks, but not bad. Ive got some numbers, but Im not sure what year or model it is. Anybody have any tips? 1C129388 AH-103-AA16 NO H1362-892

Re: New GE fridge project
I don't know anything about fixing them. Maybe cheaper to find one that is functional? I got mine in 1994 and its running to this day.

Re: New GE fridge project
Looks like a sweet BEER FRIDGE to me. Some pinstripes and such. Wonder if you can put the guts from a new fridge in something like that?

I used to work for them at the Federal Way store. The store was closed and It was in the break room. Dennis offered it to me and I've had it since.

Anyway, most of the wires were chewed in two my rats, so after guessing which ones went were and bypassing a switch, I got the compressor to kick on. It ran nice and quiet, but there is a tiny copper tube that has been chewed in two, so it has a leak. Maybe all it needs is for a new piece to be soldered in and to get charged with new refrigerant? I hope so. Oh, and there is two reallllly old houses on some land my dad farms. This fridge came out of one house, and the other fridge has a really old Frigidaire by General Motors in it. It just has one door and a small freezer compartment inside. Its pretty cool too.

Re: New GE fridge project
Thats an awesome fridge you have there n2billet. This first one is going to be a low budget build, probably with just spray paint. Not sure how good of a finish I can get. I've pretty much decided on a mint green color.
Here is the other fridge I may fix up later on down the road.

Re: New GE fridge project
I think I'm going to hold on to that one, the badge is what really makes it cool for me too. I was pretty surprised when I looked close and read the badge on it

Re: New GE fridge project
My dad had one similar to that when I was in high school. Just a bit older and one door.
I air brushed it to look like a big can of BUDWISER. It was the talk of the game room. Might have a picture, but was like forever ago. Bill |

Re: New GE fridge project
Heres the latest. I will have to wait a while until I try to get someone to get it to cool, but it looks good right now.

Re: New GE fridge project
Thanks guys.
I got some paint mixed at the local paint shop and some hardener and used a Preval sprayer and a few cartridges of propellant. It worked OK, I probably could have used some more advice on how to use it. But I got all the paint and the sprayer for less than 60 bucks, so its not bad. I think I will be keeping my eye out for a good spray gun for future use though. http://www.brandsport.com/prvl-267.html

Re: New GE fridge project
Those are sweet! I am setting a small kitchen up in my man cave and have a late 40's early 50's Tappan gas stove to go in it. I just picked up a set of period metal cabinet base and have located a one piece porcelin sink top for it. Now just to find a fridge.
