I have emailed the newspaper editor explaining how the point was totally missed here. we really need a contest for the biggest energy hog which could be a 1960s-vintage window AC or a 1970 GE side-byside 24cf Refrigerator like my parents had for 25 years before it was a victim of a kitchen remodel, still working. I would be INSULTED by a mere $250 check for a 1938 General Electric  a working piece of history. I wonder how many WORKING pre-1955 units were sacrificed for the $35 the rest got.
For shame! 
Thanks for the (non-cfl) lightbulb moment Dieselljeep! I always thought these old timers sounded very different running. Lower speed, less heat, longer life.  |
If you look at the nameplate on a GE, it's not a refrigerator but A " Refrigerating Machine ".
Of all the pre-60's refers, GE made the best.
