Title: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: SIGNGUY on June 25, 2010, 03:04:56 pm What do you guys make of this... It's a counter top ice cooler,, measures about 3feet long 18 wide and 18 tall, Logos are not embossed, just screened on, but still very nice..
I have a customer looking to get it restored, but Personally I don't think he should redo it? rather make new panels for it if he really wants to, and keep the original? but it's his to decide. he was wondering on value, and I really haven't seen another? any clues? Title: Re: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: collecture on June 25, 2010, 03:10:12 pm Leave as-is for sure!
Nice piece - never seen one before. I'd say comparable in value to a nice Glascock counter cooler, but just a guess! Title: Re: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: halehouse on June 25, 2010, 03:27:42 pm Clean it up and keep it as it is.
Title: Re: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: mllaugh3 on June 25, 2010, 03:54:08 pm Very Cool. A buddy and I found one of these while "picking" in Indiana. It is exactly like that but it has an ice cream theme to it. Haven't been able to find anything like it. Glad you posted this.

Maybe you should use the dimensions to build a brand new one, tell him his is restored and keep this one for yourself :biggrin: Title: Re: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: Eric on June 25, 2010, 04:34:24 pm Get a cleaner to remove the rust stains and possibly the spray paint, wax it and leave as is...OR following MoonDawgs advice! :biggrin:

Brian Title: Re: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: SIGNGUY on June 25, 2010, 07:45:55 pm Nice condition. I actually thought of that...is that wrong? The guy wants a super shiney machine... and I told him, it's like touching up a picaso or rembrandt.. you just don't do it..Maybe you should use the dimensions to build a brand new one, tell him his is restored and keep this one for yourself :biggrin: We'll see.. john Title: Re: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: GreginNM on June 25, 2010, 08:11:43 pm Sounds like what he wants is a new, exact reproduction of an original! You would ruin the value and character of that piece if restored, and I'm with the others...it doesn't need anything but a cleaning!!
I'd be looking into how hard it would be to reproduce... Title: Re: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: johnieG on June 25, 2010, 08:17:59 pm I'd have the graphics repro'd & fabricated a new cooler, being this ones in such nice shape, I wouldn't touch it, it would ruin the value of such a unique cooler.
Title: Re: Pepsi Double Dot Counter Top Cooler Post by: johnnyfizz on June 25, 2010, 10:15:54 pm It's amazing that it survived that long and in that condition! Did he have any story to go along with his find? I also vote to leave as is.Just shine it up.
