Hey, I'm a newbie member but have been reading here for a month or more now. I just got my keezer built. $50 12 cubic kenmore freezer from craigslist.
everything is done except it had internal hinges for the lid. I cut them off and figured I could get some used hinges from ebay or a local used appliance place. ebay has some but people want $40 for a used set with shipping. new hinges are $28 each, and the used place doesn't have any. I figure their has to be someone with a dead chest freezer somewhere who would sell me a set for $10? Bad thing is my neighbor just got rid of an old broken freezer the week before I got this one. I guess it's burried in the land fill now. any other time I would see 3 or 4 dead freezers out by my fishin holes in the pits but went fishing yesterday and didn't find any. so anyone have a set please let me know. I would just throw some cheap hinges on it but I want the lid to stay up on it's own. I mounted the collar on the freezer so the lid is only the original weight.
thanks in advance!
