Well it has been awhile since i posted but i finaly got myself a chest freezer.Found a steal on CL and had to take it,although the steal was a 1991 Kenmore.The problem i have is when i purchased it i was so excited about painting and adding a collar that i failed to recognize a cord that runs to the lid.This cord could limit the height of my collar and i wonder if i could just cut it and pig tail the end?I assume it only runs a small light in front on the lid but with my luck i would cut it and then regret it.
