I plugged in a gigantic freezer in my garage. It's called a 'True Cold 525' and is at least 30 years old.
I'm hoping to use it as a storage space for perishable foods. Say storing 100 lbs of chicken long-term for emergency situations.
Will it just die on me eventually?
Edit: I plugged it in an hour ago and it's starting to produce coldness. I'm testing it right now to see if it can freeze a water bottle

We have one of these freezers that was my wife's parents that was purchased in the late 50's. The plastic spacers for the metal dividers are failing and I cut out the wiring for the interior light maybe 20 years ago as it was failing. Some of the gasket is bad but it keeps working. I checked the energy consumption a few years ago and it was perhaps a third higher than a new unit. No reason to replace.
