      Chances are slim that they lost all the freon. Since it is on CL, I assume you are local to it. Go over and have them plug it in. If you get any cooling on the evaporator at all, you know the compressor is working and the rest should not be a big problem.
It's not the more desirable 2-selection 55 but the light feature is nice.
      Not cooling will deter a lot of interest so make that a bargaining tool on price.

Only square top I really like.  If you like it, $500 is not too bad.

Got it for $500. Probably one of the nicest sellers Ive ever dealt with it. So nice I didn't have the heart to go lower.

I think we need to put bounties on those nameless people who are telling sellers "probably needs a shot of freon"
And it looks like it had a padlock clasp to lock the door at one time.

Nice, I concur with about ~$500.00, but if it were a dual 55 I'd give them $750 hands down, cooling's not an issue for me ( 'Cause I can fix 'em anyway)

Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes.
Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon!
