Can confirm the fridge part. I've got an ice box from the 1960s ("Made in West Germany"), inherited from my grandma that has been running flawlessly since then. I had an energy meter stuck to it some time ago, it's using less kWh than our brand new, low energy certified fridge.
No way, neat
Please submit it for questioning and examination— it must be studied!
You don’t have a temperature sensor on hand do you?
Maybe the secret is that the raw material cost is at about Sub-Zero retail price levels. I hope you get decades more ice boxiness out of it!
btw image search isn’t helpful, can ya find a pic of a similar machine?
