After 35 years in storage, it fired-up on 240V no problems.
24 hours later drinks etc are perfectly cold on setting 1, out of 5. 50 bucks at deceased estate sale. Unbelievable little things.

No big deal for average user, but in a boat they will cause massive RF interference with the TV, radio and UHF radio. Most are CE ticked these days but the last time I checked some Engel's still didn't have that important rating.

Consider yourself lucky, even good brand fridge freezer could have deteriorated over that time, must admit those Engels are great fridges and you are a winner for that price.

Interesting, I noticed mine has an Earth lug and the sticker mention's something about radio interference on it. Wondered what it was all about. Any idea if it helps/works?

Most problem are when it is using 12V supply. It was such a problem in the EU UK market at the time, non CE approved 12-24V frig were banned from selling in the marine market.

There must be some little capacitor/RF choke/coil DIY gizmo that old 'hacks' can knock-up to solve the issue though...?
