General Electric Double Dot Pepsi Cooler

[Westy]

Hi guys,

Looking for some advise!

Not long ago I bought this cooler and recently had it blasted and primed with the aim to restore it. Now the questions;

Would it originally been an electric cooler? If so now it doesn't have any internal, are they or something similar available?

What type of grill/louvers would of been in place at the bottom of the machine?

How to remove the chrome strips from the front without damaging them?

Are new top lid seals available and handles?

Anyone with any colour codes for repainting it?

What's missing from the bottle opener and the other side or anywhere else?.... Lol

Cheers,
Paul

Your cooler was an electric model... there would have been a large vented panel to cover the bottom front area.
You would need to remove the tub to get to the chrome strips clamps to remove safely.
Here is a double size cooler with everything you need on ebay right now

if it doesn't sell, and you're close, maybe you could work something out...

Just seen that it doesn't have the opener... but have seen them on eBay from time to time... Just have to watch.

I think Funtronics carries that handle check their website out... Rod and Janet are great folks and
are regulars on this site... Sure others can help you with questions... Good Luck!

I like mine a little better.  A ton of work and I would never do it again but it sure looks pretty.  I think it took me 10 years to pay off the sign painter who did the emboss work.

I think I would take a saw to that machine and have two smalls
