Is the fridge a three way absorption unit ?
ie 240v, 12v, gas ?
Would help potential new owners to know……
Cheers,

These old absorption fridges are awesome !
I’m still using my original from ‘76.
I hope someone appreciates the provenance of what you are offering .

I'm also still using my old Electrolux 3way in my 74 Sopru, just a little trick with these fridges, if they haven't been used for a while the refrigerant liquids seperate so turn fridge upside down a few times to remix liquids & good to go. Cheers Shane

Thanks for the tip! I'm thinking though, it's not exactly a quick job to get the fridge out and do that and then get it back in. How long would you define as "a while"?

Overnight is usually sufficient, Chris.
All the remixed liquid needs to drain back down through the plumbing….
When I removed my 3 way to do this, I thought it’d be quite a task……turned out that it was secured to the cabinet with just a couple of fine thread screws…..took about 5 minutes to release it and another 10 to undo the gas and wiring required to free it completely.
Very simple really……
