A 40 years old fridge can easily average 200W more than a new one. Depends on the details of how well it’s conserved and how good it was to begin with. That would be some $15 a month more.

You refrigerate your jazz?

I refrigerate my cabbage, does jazz cabbage need to be refrigerated?
I don’t think so.
As long as it doesn’t emit toxic gases, I’m all for it. So many old kitchen appliances are borderline unbreakable
