Any one collects or uses old BIG electric apliances?

I finished my errand and then went home to fetch my trolley in very great haste as this place is crawling with scrap metal dealers. I cleaned it up and replaced the flickering power light with the "bag full" light from an old Electrolux. I was really stoked to find this as we needed one and there are very few out there that I consider worth having.

The top isn't yellowed, that's just an effect of my low-quality camera.

I bought a Canadian-built "Woods" compact upright freezer. It was in-new condition, bought from my favorite Charity Thrift. $35 USD out the door!
