Keezer build with questions!

The age of a refrigeration unit is not necessarily a good way to judge it's power draw or efficiency. I have one freezer that is about 45 years old and it operates at about the same efficiency as my almost new chest freezer.

Really??? How many watts does it draw? The old one that is.

2 days no response. I doubt that old fridge works like a new one

I had a Philco fridge from the 50's that pulled about the same as my ferm fridge from the mid 90's. It pulled slightly more when running, but ran a lot less frequently. When you look at the amount of insulation they used to put in fridges, it's not that surprising. My ferm fridge has ~2" thick walls, compared to the ~5.5" thick walls of the old Philco. The door seal was also much thicker/wider, and better engineered IMO.

Today I got a 2x8 collar finished, just priming it now... I am just going to paint it to seal it because I think my keezer is going to get a full graphic wrap.
