Unhappy Looking for '64 Refer. Door Shelf

I am looking for a refrigerator door shelf that will fit inside my small Dometic in our '64 GlobeTrotter. It is aqua plastic and snaps onto the molded plastic knobs on the bottom of the door. It looks as though it was meant to hold cans of pop, because the white plastic is molded with ripples to keep cans from sliding...although, I'm not sure exactly what it looks like, because I've never seen one...

I did find the two other shelves for the door at Cherokee RV Salvage here in Denver, I would imagine that the bottom shelf looks similar to them.

Additional pictures can be seen @

'64 Dometic Door Shelves

Please email me if you have an old Dometic that no longer works & you have this shelf...I would like to buy the bottom shelf from you.

Thanks!

Shari

P.S. Here is a picture of the door with the two shelves I have found:

Shari-

Sorry I don't have the same refrig as you. Mine has a lovely 70's burnt orange interior...but looking at your kitchen photos I noticed something else you might want to be on the look out for. My GT has a cover that goes over the sink - in matching counter type material and you flip in over and it's a cutting board. I'll send you a picture if yours is missing and you can add it to your hunting list!

Gillian ~

I've seen those on larger trailers but I didn't know they were an option on ours! If you wouldn't mind, send a picture & dimensions when you get a chance...it'll go in my "Questing For" file...Thanks!

tboone, et al~

The opening measures approximately 13-1/2"and the knobs that it would attach to protrude about 1/4" with a clear dimension between them being about 13". The other shelves are a light aqua colored plastic (not smoke-colored) with a grid pattern and snap onto the molded knobs on the sides. So I would assume this one is similar...

Shari

P.S. If anybody has a picture of this shelf that they could email me ~ that would be great too! It would help me to know exactly what I am looking for...

Been awhile since this thread "floated to the top"...with lots of new members and my success rate with other M.I.A. (missing in Airstream) items, I'm still hopeful!

Shari,

You have some determination! I remember your last quest, I think it was some sort of sewer cap? You ended up finding it long after I would have given up. Have you tried Crane RV refrigeration? I am not sure but maybe your vintage of fridge may be rare as hen's teeth?

Did they have canned soda pop back then?

You're right Chas, I did find one...hopefully I'll have luck with this too!

Quote:

Yep...tried them to no avail...

Quote:

Maybe...but I found the termination cap and the other two missing shelves shown that were suppossedly just as rare...

Quote:

Not sure, but that's what it looks like it was for...maybe bottles would have fit too.

So.....any new leads on a fridge door shelf???

BTW...I did find a picture in the Special Interest Autos article published in the February 1998 '64 GlobeTrotter article. Tough to scan...but here it is:

Hey Shari,

A few things~
• I'm not able to get to my '63 GT right now, and have only spent about 5 minutes inside it total.
• No pictures of the refrig, but I'd bet the original fridge is in there, nothing's ever been touched.
• Haven't opened the frig, so don't know what's there or missing.
• I'll probably will upgrade all the appliances to new, super efficient models when the restoration begins, and in the meantime I can get rid of stuff I won't be needing.

Add all that up, and if the '63's had the same fridge, in the color you want, with the pieces in there, you're welcome to 'em. I'll see if I can get up there with a digital camera in the next couple weeks and take a digital inventory of the few un-ruined goodies (i.e. anything made of plastic and not wood!) left inside.

...for example, I won't be keeping these sconces,

http://www.airstreamphotos.com/photo...beTrotterC.JPG

...or most anything in this picture including sinks and oven. I'll use the toilet if it's salvagable. What can I say.. I like old porcelain.

WOW! If all the planets align and luck is on our side...that would be terrific! Looks like you have your work cut out for you, but you'll have a gem when you're through!

I would love to add to my success rate by finding all my M.I.A. (missing in Airstream) items! Let me know what you discover once you get a chance...Thanks Brad!

Shari

No prob, Shari. Your efforts as moderator help to keep the massive flow of information organized and helpful have been so important to everyone, (particularly us vintage owners), so if I have anything that will help make our pal Maxwell even better then he is, I'm in!

I may have a chance to inspect it this afternoon, so I'm packing the digital camera just in case.

Keep you posted~

Hi Shari

That is too funny...did I remind you to bring it to the top again from our PM's

When I came back to the home page and this was up I did a double take

So that new picture you posted guess what - Same as Rays! Just sent an- e-mail asking him if he wanted me to pick up the whole fridge or just the parts he needs - good thing you don't need the same parts

The suspense is now killing me and I don't think I can wait till the weekend - so I will find his number and call him tonight and ask to go over in the morning.

I knew it was small - but gosh dang-it could you be the unluckiest with your refer MIA search!!!

This one is an M28 with a bottom shelf in perfect condition and 14 78" wide (measurement taken from inside door lip to inside lip (as marked on the photo) - not from inside tab to inside tab).

I thought maybe the 28 and 35 would be the same width just different hieghts like our 40 and 45 or 50 or whatever . Can you double check the measurement so that we are infact taking the measurement from the same place?


.....and the saga continues of the missing bottom refer shelf.....
I have the M40 - with a perfect condition extra bottom shelf! measuring 16" wide and the 28 has a perfect bottom shelf - both the aqua with cross hairs...Can ya not just shuv it in and make it fit

Well I have one more chance to redeme myself and have my local girl checking with her vintage refer source for you. (He came through for our very uncommon size so maybe you will be 3X lucky???) I will offer that little 28 fridge for the effort and go and pick it up if he will make a trade for your shelf and rays shelf and freezer door on an M35.

And who thought this was easy tracking down Vintage parts

Doesn't really surprise me...there were so many similar models during the sixties...oh well, I'll keep looking. Let me know if the other one pans out...I've come across several in the larger size...I even wondered if there was a way to cut them down & glue/weld the plastc back together.

I think the M28 was in a Bambi or Bambi II. I'll "triple-check" my measurements, but I'm certain they are correct...we will probably pick up Max on Friday...expecting more snow, but tough!

The way it works...I think is:

M-28 = 2.8 cu. ft.
M-35 = 3.5 cu. ft.
M-40 = 4.0 cu. ft.
etc.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for looking though! Maybe Brad's will work...or who knows, another one will pop-up...I am a very patient (& persistant!) person...drives people nuts!

You've bin swell!

Shari

Thumbs up Once again....persistance pays off!!!

I'm proud to announce that once again I have found a "you'll never find one of those" part....well, I did! And guess what? I didn't have any cash on me & they didn't want to take a check...so they said to just take it and pay $5 next time I'm in! Yay, good karma does come back around...

Found it at Cherokee RV...a local boneyard in Denver, even though the last time I checked, no luck ~ today....jackpot! I'll post a picture later this week...too dark right now to take one....

The only thing is, my fridge stopped working last weekend while camping (bummer)...gonna "burp it" this saturday & see if it helps. If not, it's off for a re-build of the cooling unit ~

Oh well, if it's not one thing...it's another! I wouldn't know what to do without something to fix or find!

Shari
