I picked up an older fridge with a non-frostless freezer for free on freecycle once. I still works great, although it's at my friends house now, used all the time as a beer fridge. Maybe you could look up a used one on craigslist or similar?
Sorry to hear about your troubles. I just had a repair guy come out to my house to check out our fridge as well. I seemed to work ok, but it just wasn't that cold- soft ice cream, etc... It just needed a new fan motor (to cool the coils underneath) which was about $55. I could (and would) have done the repair myself, but it would have cost the same amount for me to buy the part as it did for him to provide and install it.
