Any mileage in looking into the economics of replacement before going 
down the James Bond route? Today's fridges are sold on efficiency and 
low running costs. I'd have thought a creative accountant could make 
a pretty good case for replacement of an old machine with a 21st century model.
I know that's taking the sport out of it but accountants not 
engineers rule the world today...
