Found this on craigslist. I think its a Kelvinator 180. There's no compressor and the bottom is really rusty so think I'll just paint it and fix it enough to use it as an outdoor cooler for my porch.

either you forgot to complete your posting, or it must be the rare invisible model.... or the wife caught him typing about the new machine & brained him upside his head mid-sentence  |

Unless you are in love with it .. I wouldn't put too much into it... too many nice square tops and sliders
out there.. just my 2 cents...
But it would be a white cooler with the logos of “You Like It” on one side of the embossing and “It likes you” on the other side of the embossing with some green deco lines underneath.

I'm thinking I'll just bondo the worst of the holes and spray paint it. All its going to do is sit in front of my house. Anyone have some ideas on a good kind of paint for outdoors?

I sold a real nice complete cooling unit last year for $200 and it took me a year to sell it.

All done unless I buy a cap catcher for it. I think it looks nice in front of my place.

My next door neighbor is a sign shop and he gave me a good deal to paint the letters and logos since I've helped him out a bit.
