> I have a refrigerator from the 70's that works great

That refrigerator had a real cost (adjusted for inflation) that's just as high as "heavy-duty", "pro" units that you can buy today and that will last you just as long (adjusting for survival bias)

That old refrigerator likely eats a ton of power and will kill the atmosphere if it breaks open too.
