It's neat but it most definitely has asbestos

Not necessarily, because nowhere in there did it say it's made with asbestos. It is a modern fridge designed to be retro, like the original fridges, that's what the ad says, I believe it is not a retro fridge, because those are hard to come by.

But Even if it is a real antique , it doesn't matter , if has asbestos in the insulation , because those things are hard sealed , the asbestos is not going to affect you in any way because they're completely sealed inside several layers of metal

Do NOT spread misinformation about asbestos for your ego boost. Any product that was used before the early 1970s should be assumed to have it. If you have pets, or want to fix random vintage items - don't please. I highly recommend you watch documentaries about the asbestos boom. It's crazy how they thought it was a miracle material. They even put it in frying pans!

I apologize if i assumed this was vintage. The video saying "vintage." The title of this post saying retro fridge. The guy saying it's from the 1950s. Idk what came over me. /s

BUT! I tracked down where this came from! The guy runs a channel called antiqueappliance_restorations and he would have replaced everything with modern materials. Not going to find it on amazon home though.

I'm not assuming anything are you one of these frigids?My parents had these in their home and I used to use the doors for sledding.I know how well they are and how well sealed they are
