Thought i would share two photos of a very rare pepsi ice box i had restored a few years ago. it was in very bad shape when we found in new hampshire, it is embossed on the front you would put a block of ice in the top to keep cold. it has a drain tube that lets the water from the melting ice come out of the bottom. It is a very cool item, it took a lot of sheet metal work to get it to look like this, can not find any photos in the shape it was when we found, will keep looking for them.

I would never believed it to be a real Pepsi without the embossing. That's really cool.
Makes a nice bar room frig. It looks as though you can put anything in it.

Remember, it's an Ice-Box, not a refrigerator. ( looks like it would hold 25-lb block of Ice.)  |

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Refrigerator...what was I thinking. So you can't plug it in.
Still pretty cool. Thanks for the correction and thanks for sharing.
