Looks like I must say good bye to an old friend.

[Squisher]

My old friend, a 1934 GE refrigerator that I've owned for 20 yrs.

I hooked up a Kill-a-watt to it, and it's costing $40-$65/month to run this thing.

I'm going to call Greenfield Village and find out if they want it. I know they have the same frig in a couple of displays. I could use the tax write-off.

I wonder where to go to find out what it's worth?

 

[Inspector Jihad]

jeez, 45 to 60 bucks a month...thats steep

 

[Ika]

Yeah dude that's a helluva lot of money for a fridge. At least it doesn't freeze beers...

Off topic, but how much does it cost to get a Kill-a-watt?

 

[ballmode]

They're somewhere in the ~$30 range I believe. I need to get one - they're handy little gadgets.

Dude, that thing is awesome. Too bad you have to get rid of it.

So how much is my Monitor Top worth?

Single door Monitor Tops, in good, working condition, are worth an average of $250 to $400 in ?as is? condition. The rarer two door and three door units are worth what you are willing to pay for them. Completely restored single door models sell for $3400 to $3900, and (you guessed it!) restored two and three door models sell for what ever the buyer is willing to pay!

$1200.00 here.......http://www.monitortop.com/Inventory/Cat...eration/1934mt061406/1934MT061406.html

 

[Greenman]

Thats a nice piece of hardware, I'd keep it and just not use it.

 

[Evadman]

That is what my 14.1 cubic foot deep freezer costs per year.

BTW: Awesome cooler!

Wow, thanks. I know my wife's grandfather sent a letter to GE 30 years ago asking if they had seal for the door. They replied 'No, but we'll give you $600 for the frig.'
Believe me, to the IRS, it'll be totally restored.

I've been shopping online and looking at freezerless models tonight. The ones that show their Energy Guides show costs of $28 a year to run them. :roll:

 

[everman]

Nice fridge, sounds like it may be worth some cash at least. ~50/month is insane

 

[Soccerman06]

Bah that cant even hold a 15G keg.

 

[raz3000]

Took about durable appliances. I doubt any fridge made today would last 70 years.

 

[doze]

Sell it to a collector, you could get much better than a tax writeoff

 

[dighn]

wow. they sure made things to last back then.
