Now THERE is something the War Department would go for and approve of!  Sun Drop is her favorite drink (of course, we can't get it down here in South Texas)!  I keep telling her I'm going to find a nice generic Ideal 35, Ideal 55, or VMC 110 to make a fantasy Sun Drop machine.  That one is really cool, John.  Don't know what it is, though.

I've seen this type of cooler before; however, I thought it was listed in the Soda Machines Section, but couldn't find it...
Sorry I'm not much help...
Similar to a Beverage Air Model BA-5S

I saw this listed about a month ago. I asked him about the logo. They are not embossed. Price is right though. If I didn't have to drive 3 or 4 hours 1 way I would buy it. I like unusual stuff though.

Great find at a good price. And it is the unusual coolers that make the collection interesting.

It was listed in Appleton according to my email. There is another cooler listed in Northern IL. It's a Cleo Cola. The stand doesn't look quite right to me. It's listed at $200

Oscar,
if you have the contact info, could you forward? I can't find the listing and so I'm either being stupid or it has been removed? but if it 's close enough to where I'm going I might take a look...
that other Cleo Cola cooler is intriquing , mainly for the lids? not sure what kind of cooler it is,, legs are homeade,, I'm wondering if it was a cut down cooler of some sort?
kinda out of my way, but anyone coming to Chicago from the Kansas City area,, might want to look into it? Brian or Brian???

I saw one of these listed on E-Bay (I think) earlier this year.  It was in Pepsi colors.  I thought I had identified the make at that time but I went back through my posts and could not find it.  darn

Neat little cooler and in a unique brand.  I believe the one that I saw previously was set up as a water circulator.

No problem! I think it looks really cool. Thats why I went looking for it. Go for it. Its a neat machine especially since it is a slider.

Got an email from the seller on Saturday... it had sold a few days ago , so he pulled the listing..
Too bad too as my hotel was litterly 10 minutes away from where it was at...

Can't complain ... I did pick up another 81b for a fair price... so overall it was a good weekend, the Packers won, weather was good, beer was cold and I got another Coke machine!.. oh yeah and my wife is still speaking to me..  biggrin

John:
Glad the Coke 81B worked out for you. Sounds like you had a good time while getting it also. And the best part is that the wife is still happy.  biggrin

You are right, it is a LaCrosse, I had one painted Coke red with coke script, I don't know if they produced anything but Coke, the yellow one may have been repainted.
