Another shopping observation today

[moniss]

31. Years ago when I first started on my own I got an

old fridge that had been in a family for years. Had that pull handle like opening a car door. They had bought it new, moved many times, had it in their garage/shop for refreshments after they got a new one for their kitchen. I bought it for $20.00 and moved it 50 miles and down into a basement apartment. In all that time it never failed and never needed service of any kind. Well over 30 years. It had the curved front and compressor on the bottom. Little shelf with a door on it inside that was the freezer compartment. Big enough for a couple of ice cube trays.

It's like cars. The old simple ones can run almost forever with just an occasional oil change and spark plugs.
