Just a shot in the dark. Would there be someone with an old kero fridge that could do with a good home? It can be well and truly dead as I want to make a letter box out it for the front of my place. I only need the cabinet with door. I am near Tamworth in NSW

I do have a kerosine fridge in vgc. I live in Queensland.

If it works I'd keep it, the way things are going you may need it

It would be criminal to turn your fridge into a mail box!
I would like to come across one that is "dead" so I could just use the cabinet part for the mail box.
I am told that if you have one working and they are looked after, they can perform as good as an electric one.
Thanks for the response

A lot depends on why you want a kero fridge for a mail box. If its because it looks good, then almost any 'old' fridge will do. Kero fridges used the same body work as regular fridges in the 1950's > 1960's (1940's if you were in the USA) - that rounded half melted look.

If its just for the insulating & animal resistant properties, then any old 'modern' fridge would do.

Since you are up Tamworth way, it would be a good idea to spend a bit of time going around the old town tips in the area & look for an old, abandoned fridge. You would have to give the outside a wire brushing and repaint it, the door seal would be dead, so glue or screw some 'rubber' hose into the door gap, then attach a hasp & staple to keep the door closed as the original catch is also likely to be defunct by now. OK, a fair bit more work that finding one in 'working' condition, but probably a good bit easier now days.
