This site sells gaskets for vintage fridges, quite pricey though: http://store.antiqueappliances.com/Door-Gaskets_c_8.html. Cheers, Mattias

I used a Danfoss service thermostat for my 1947 Philco. You can get one of those from any appliances repair store. Just make sure you get one meant for fridges without automatic defrost (no. 1 for Danfoss, other brands have other denominations). Cheers, Mattias

Done!
