This looks like a good deal it may hurt on the shipping

I wonder what portion of that total $ the Cornelius amounts to? Hopefully not too much.
The one in Seattle looks good. Maybe a little high on the price.
I really like mine.

Funny thing...
Just today, a guy called looking for a Cornelius Compact 50 in a DP theme.
His father-in-law passed away and had this cooler for some 20+ years; however, it was left to another sister but he wanted to have one like it...

I have not seen one of these in the DP green w/ a DP medallion and light-up marquee...

If you run across one without a rack. Keep in mind I still have the NOS can rack with NOS coin mech, paperwork, keys, and original coin box $50.00 plus shipping.
I dont know what model it fits but can supply measurements

My wife and I went and took a look at an old house, circa 1900, in our city's historic district the other day. After looking at the upper levels of the home we made our way down into the basement. I was poking around in a corner looking at electrical and plumbing when the wife calls out "Hey, look at this, it's a Coke machine!" I almost snapped my neck in two turning around to look.

Turns out it's a Cornelius Compact 50 with rack and everything! It surprised me to see the machine down there and I was equally surprised that my wife found it before I did! There's hope yet!!! :laugh:

The owner of the home lives down in Florida full time now. If we end up making an offer on the house I'm pretty sure the machine comes with it.

So should I look at it from the standpoint of the house comes with the machine or the machine comes with the house.......

Brian,

Make sure you put it in your offer to purchase that comes with the house. Do you want me to start the offer?

John,

You you recall the section/category...?
I just searched several areas but came up empty...

Thanks ! ! !

I just went and checked on a bottle rack I have for a C-50.  It's the chrome rack, not the painted one.  Not quite as nice as I remembered it, some small scattered rust spots, but would probably clean up pretty nice with a little elbow grease.  Plus the price is right.  If you find a cooler without the guts, you can have the rack.  It came out of  one I bought for next to nothing on a whim a while back.  Took a risk sight unseen and it turned out the cabinet was shot.  Kept the rack and coin mechanism, recycled the box.  If it turns out you need one and are interested, just let me know and I can send you a pic.  Good luck on your hunt.

Pat,

Here is a DP Cornelius with lighted sign on the GR CL.  Looks like it was an auction on 12-22 but it might not have sold.

OK picked up the Cornelius  this was one Leonard had me look at it was at a auction and did not sell   this cooler is N.O.S.   it was never used
it still has the owners manual in plastic . the cap catcher is still in the box .  
There are two left and my client already has first dibbs on a second one , So if any of you want one let me know (just a note the third one does not have the light on the back


Title: Re: Looking for a Cornelius
Post by: Pat Pixley on January 06, 2011, 10:26:13 pm
And one more thing my client wants a can rack  in this so I need to trade  if there is someone willing to do this (and it is a new never use rack) :smile:

Post by: David D on January 06, 2011, 10:44:42 pm
great find, how old are those mid 70's?  I didn't realize there were so many out there until this posting.


Title: Re: Looking for a Cornelius
Post by: Pat Pixley on January 06, 2011, 11:00:37 pm
Tell you what I'll get some better pictures tomorrow.  It was two hours there and about two back the weather was bad
in some areas, so glad to be back home.

Those are awesome! I would love to have one of those but I know my parents would not go for it at all.


Title: Re: Looking for a Cornelius
Post by: tkaz on January 07, 2011, 12:38:07 am
wow, seems pretty rare to find something like that NOS, great find.  Is he leaving the woodgrain?


Title: Re: Looking for a Cornelius
Post by: bubba on January 07, 2011, 06:53:41 am
What did you end up paying Pat?

Isn't that a can rack that Joey has listed?


Title: Re: Looking for a Cornelius
Post by: oscar on January 07, 2011, 01:41:42 pm
Nice find Pat. I remember one of these from my barber's shop in the 70's. I always had to get a cold soda out of the slider. It was wood grained also but it's still pretty cool.


Title: Re: Looking for a Cornelius
Post by: Pat Pixley on January 07, 2011, 02:53:58 pm
Bubba I paid $150 for it  and yeah I got to get in touch with Joey on the Rack that he has.

  Here is some better pictures

Post by: loman4ec on January 07, 2011, 04:14:48 pm
Pat,

I am not positive but I think the can racks were for the larger cornelius cooler only. I have had several of both and I have never seen a compact 50 with a can rack. I have only seen the larger cooler.

I've seen a Corny' compact-50 with a can rack in person (it was compressor a repair job)
