Title: Trying to ID this Orange Crush Cooler
Post by: SIGNGUY on May 07, 2010, 05:14:10 pm
Got these bad pictures today from the seller, hoping to get better ones, but trying to ID this cooler, It's embossed Orange Crush on at least 3 sides, not sure on back, it's refridgerated, it has a different lid than I've seen before, at first looking at the sides, figured it to be a quikold, but dont' think it is? has unique markings on the bottom edge of side panels.. Tyring to id? and find out if I want it..
any help or suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

Looks like a quikold or an S and S. Very similar to a quikold. Sent you a PM with some info.

Pelco 510E. I think that is what it is. Here is the front of it. This must be the same one. It is electric.

Nice looking cooler!  Good luck with the quest to look at it!  If it's a Pelco, those are neat machines from what I've seen, and not too terribly big either.  I got outbid on that Dr. Pepper one last year.
