in summer we turn him up and the beer has ice particles floating in the neck,,,awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing we have done is replaced the door seal and fitted a new power cord as the old cloth covered lead and Bakelite plug were dangerous!
Other then that "Tommy" has endured 5x house relocations in the last 6x years,,, starts up fresh as a daisy every time!
Hate to think of the power consumption he sucks up though,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"vomit bombs" love your work,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,shit beer though!Quote:

Shamrock hotel, Bendigo 1854, thats the red cedar one, only use that to lean on like a work bench,
Right hand one I did up, pretty chuffed with the result that holds wine, dont drink wine myself.
Middle one holds tin and dry dog food plus Galah seed for the bird keeps it miceproof.
Top price was $40 but I love these iceboxes, also have plenty of meat safes as well dating from 1860
But they're not a fridge if they don't refrigerate!
Tap, crackle, pop
Thats all that was around until late 50s I think to keep your food fresh.
Maybe not you but I can remember Ice man delivering ice.
We'll call them an awesome wooden esky
Bit too big to take camping though don't ya reckon?
Work well though after these they looked like BigFellas Without power then they chucked a motor on them.
I love em, plenty of history behind them, rather look at them than burn them
Lol a wooden esky that can heat and cool (depending on the air temp lol)Quote:

Silent Night, man that is going back a fair way. Would have been the talk of the street when that arrived at your place.
Old fridges were popular for weekend shacks around here cause they allways worked after being turned off for a while, the modern ones leaked their gas and buggered the trip away!
Like the ice boxes as well, we really do it easy now dont we.
Lucas they work quite well they are lined with, either wheat husks, seaweed or cork chips.
Plus wood insuates pretty good too inside early ones its just gal sheet, older ones had enamel inserts
very classy for their time
