...she's thawed the freezer every year since 1948, and the only thing broke is the handle. Been in contact with these people http://www.antiqueappliances.com/ and they have an interest in buying it or completely tearing it down and rebuilding everything, changing a few things to new and painting it. Their finish resto's are cool...:)
