The TV died in the 60s. The fridge didn't.

Right after the war, a dairy farm was bringing in good money, and the couple who ran it made a deal. He wanted a television. She was done with the icebox. He got his TV and she got a Philco, and their granddaughter, three or four at the time, remembers the truck coming down the road with both on it. The TV quit in the mid 60s. The fridge has outlived two sets of owners. It has the old mechanical latch handle, the kind that pulls the door shut tight, from before magnetic gaskets. There's a little rust coming through on it these days. Nobody has ever had to open up the sealed system.
