Older single door manuel defrost refs were very cheap to run and in fact most would be awarded an Energy Star label if still produced today. The compressor rarely comes on, and when it does, you have to listen carefully to even hear it. The refrigerator was working when we purchased it, and now 17 years later, still runs the day it was built. When I put the fridge back together, I installed a generic "bulk roll" door gasket, but it had the proper shape and looks original. Meanwhile, I sent away the handle, the PHILCO letter, and the front of the meat drawer, to be "show chromed" at Santa Rosa Plating in Santa Rosa, CA. They welded a plate over the old door handle hole, did the necessary bodywork, and then repainted the entire fridge white. I needed the door to open from the right, rather than the left, so I took the door apart, reversed the mechanism to function from the other side, cut a new hole in the door for the handle and then took the whole fridge to an autobody paint shop. But inside it was gorgeous and completely intact, except for missing the little short shelves that are at either side, above the upper-most shelf. The paint and chrome were pretty bad, and it was covered in stickers. We found it in a second hand store in Morro Bay, CA for $150. It's the very first vintage appliance that my wife and I purchased. It'll be interesting to see what it uses in 24hrs. The meter just measured the first cycle of the compressor since plugging the meter in, and the compressor pulls 2.8amps and burns. Time to put my Kill-A-Watt meter to use testing my 1952 Philco.
