I am trying to identify this cooler that i just bought! The tag says Cavalier with a serial # but no model. It is a wet machine with stainless liner. Has all the original Frigidaire system, runs but no cooling. Very little rot and perfect top doors! It looks a lot like several other machines but I have not found one single picture anywhere of the same machine! Can anyone help me out!!
Thanks!
David

Mine has an internal cap catcher with the small drawer at the right bottom. Does not have the chrome front lid and no access door at the lower left front!! I have looked for hours on the net and cannot find another one like mine!

Post a picture of the data plate. It may help. It could be a later version of what you are seeing out there like Slapshot pointed out.... Or it's the rarest Cavalier cooler in the existence of mankind!!!!  |

Wow, that's quite the setup on the cooling system, looks like a very early manufacturing attempt with the refrigeration system...way too clunky

Hey David,
I'm in the process of researching these old coolers right now. What you have is a Cavalier Master Wet Cooler, model name is CM-6W. It was built in 1946-48. The date code is embossed on the back tank wall, above 'WATER LINE' embossment. You can find online a Cavalier Cooler service manual that includes your model. Might even be available on this site.
Good luck and have a good one.
Ted

You are right! That is a 1960 Healey 3000 MK I next to the WD-5 cooler and Fry May West gas pump! I have too many projects!

Ted!
Thanks so much! Now I know what to look for in the way of parts and info. There is "CC-51" embossed above the "WATER LINE".
Any idea what that means?
Thanks,
David

David,
I can email you a manual for them if you PM your email address over to me. They are available as a site download, but you need a certain amount of posts (100 I think) before you can access.
