Title: Acton cooler
Post by: cvb141 on December 03, 2003, 08:54:26 pm
I read the post about the Acton cooler and have found a steel one locally for $195.00, may take less. It looks in great shape but was not sure of the value. Could someone shed some light for me please.

Thanks

I'm by no means an expert but $195.00 seems high. Best I can recall got the alum. one for around $80.00. Course if it is mint condition and rare it might be worth asking price.

If possible a picture always helps.

Look around  go to  yard sales or autions .
  they are out there, just keep looking for them .

Hey Guys
I found an aluminum 7up picnic cooler with imbossed letters on it for $60.00. It has a small indention on top but I'm sure I can fix it. Looks great. Needs new gasket also. Is there any way to know how old it is?

Thought I would post the pics of my aluminum cooler that I had spoken of on an earlier date.
