Identify Cooler

Can someone help me identify this cooler and somewhere I may find more info on it.  Thanks.

Its a late 60's Cornelius Compact 50 slider. They were mostly woodgrain painted but the earlier ones were painted like this one. They are not very desirable but nice machines to own and use.

That one looks pretty good. Does it have the rack and coin mech? I bet it does by the condition of the outside. As far as those go, that scheme would be the more popular one (red/white with the fishtail). Plus, it has the lighted sign. That one has the cap catcher in the middle. Mine has it to the right.

        It does not have the rack and the rust may be a serious issue

Then their starting bid is about $200 too high.

That one has a nice paint job on the outside but I see original woodgrain ones on CL all the time for around $100.

Yea, I just saw it on Ebay and was curious what it was.  I really like the look of that slider.  I'm not interested in purchasing that particular one, but was just wondering the model so I can keep an eye out for one around me.  Anyone know of someone that has one for sale near the Houston area?  I keep an eye out on CL, but they don't seem to come up to often down here.  thanks.
