I have had this Cooler for years and have done nothing with it.  I am thinking of restoring it.  From what I have seen it appears to be a Westinghouse Junior but the ID plate says it was manufactured by Cavalier?

Any Thoughts?

Hi, Yea that's weird  ':p'
                                      It looks like a Westinghouse Junior to me  '<img'> And the grill you have normly means it was an Electric model .Some one could have put the tag on there ? I had one .There usely marked in the bottom(underside) of the cooler were all the tar coats the tub.

It looks like an electric junior, The colling system is definately Westinghouse,  but I 've never seen or read anything  that westinghouse  built machines for Cavalier. I am agreeing with LT, I think the  cavalier tag was added later.
Do'nt be concerned or alarmed if you don't find the  Westinghouse tag underneath right away, on my JR, it was under a 1/4" of tar, and nailed to the insulation itself.

I too have a Junior that has a Cavalier tag on the side with a serial # but no model #.   I could not find a Westinghouse tag on the underside when I removed the insulation.  Looks and measures just like a Westinghouse Junior.  The refrig unit is missing but the cabinet is nice & straight.

You have to remember. If a machine was to break down the serviceman from Coca-Cola would repair it with whatever was available from the market, and Cavalier may have been the company with the replacement parts for this box at that time. Just a guess. I am not an expert.
