Title: Westinghouse Ice Box - Help me ID it please! Post by: BrianB on June 08, 2010, 08:22:19 am I'm know the machine pictured is a Westinghouse and am leaning towards it being a Master.
The one thing that is throwing me off is the drain. Was that originally coverd by the cap catcher as well? And if so, would that make this a "later" version of the Master? Also, what would you guys give for an unrestored but in decent shape box? Thanks in advance! :biggrin: Title: Re: Westinghouse Ice Box - Help me ID it please! Post by: Vendo_110 on June 08, 2010, 08:52:41 am It is definitely a Master. Dont know about that drain. A few of these sold for abou 200 bucks at auction this past weekend. Hth!

I am pretty sure the cap catcher was designed to cover the drain outlet.. Title: Re: Westinghouse Ice Box - Help me ID it please! Post by: mznb1u on June 08, 2010, 09:43:54 am The original cap catcher would have covered the opener and the drain. To drain the cooler, you had to remove the cap catcher and attach a hose or drain it into a bucket.

What do you think a "fair" price for it is? It's local in my own town so driving ang gas aren't an issue. I think the asking price is a tad bit too high considering it's missing the cap catcher and especially after reading that somebody saw a few Master's go for $200. This one is listed at $425 They also have a complete, "non-working", Cavalier 51 for $475. I've already owned one of these and was never really impressed. If it has the Westinghouse compressor and it's broken, there isn't a ready-fit replacement. The owner says that there are a couple of loose wires in the back and that the original owner said It didn't work. Where have we heard that one before?

And I believe the missing cap catcher was posted in the Auction section yesterday/today by AtiyaD...
See if you can get the price down some, then go for it if it's local and it toots your whistle! Title: Re: Westinghouse Ice Box - Help me ID it please! Post by: Pat Pixley on June 08, 2010, 03:25:26 pm Hey Brian I have one That Tim Helped me get and I think I paid $150 or $200 some where in that area.
and every thing is there still have to check the compressor but it is a solid machine. Take a buddy you will need him to help left that in the back of a truck. :smile: Title: Re: Westinghouse Ice Box - Help me ID it please! Post by: mznb1u on June 08, 2010, 05:43:34 pm Pat is correct. That machine is heavier than it looks!

I almost will always pay a little more for a machine, if I have to, when I can get it where I live. But that's me!! :biggrin:
