Monitor Top Refrigerator Service Manuals.
 

Service Manual, General Electric Refrigerators with Scotch Yoke Machines.
This is the complete manual  for the 1934-42 models, otherwise known as the Scotch Yoke compressor models.
Covered are the CK (standard monitor top), DK (under sink monitor top), CG (Globe top), LK (Liftop) and CE/CF/CH/CJ (Flatop) series.  The manual is still of use to CA owners as the relays, cabinets, and controls, are shared by some of the  models described.

Due to file size, allow plenty of time for dial up internet connections.
