Where to find glass front fridge?

[Pythonfriend]

For a fridge, the glass front is luxury for normal people, but for stores that sell stuff its basically mandatory.

And you want good thermal insulation, so an *actual* fridge that really keeps things cool and is designed to run 24/7 with some energy efficiency is what you want. You do not want a new one or one that still works, because these are expensive. You do not want a cheap one that works, because keeping wine somewhat chilled requires no insulation, and energy efficiency also is of no concern when you sell your crap directly to consumers, it takes years before they notice that the insulation is shabby and it uses an awful lot of energy.

So, basically, send out your feelers, when you see something appropriate standing in a shop near you, ask management who services it and what is being done when it breaks. And tell them that you would very much like to buy a broken one, just for the thermal insulation. When these things break, they either get repaired or replaced, and whoever brings a new one takes the old one, and if a repair is not worth it they get disposed of / destroyed.

Hunt it down. And that involves talking to the people that have nice ones running and working (as coolers), and then having them call you when one is broken beyond repair, or get the phone number of whoever services these things. Offer some money, when they know you offer 50 bucks for a large freezer with a large glass door that is broken, and some kickback tips, they might be happy to give you their contact or call you when one of theirs breaks down.

So i would go for an inexpensive solution that does the job for a while right now, and keep hunting for the big professional cooler that used to be in a store or at a petrol station on the side.
