Title: Junior Bow Front
Post by: Ken R on October 06, 2011, 05:20:20 pm
Here's a nice cooler for sale if anyone is interested in it.  Seems pretty reasonable depending on the quality of workmanship done.

      That is a good price even if it wasn't painted. Somebody should trade him a bunch of outgrown baby gear  :biggrin:
      If that were near me, I would be talking to him in person about now.

I'm not familiar with these coolers.  Is that a Westinghouse?

I would jump on that if it were located near me.

Which is better, the water cooler model or the ice model?  Dangers of electrocution with water model when reaching in??

       The WD-5 you pointed out is air cooled.
       Ice coolers are a hassle to fill and drain.
       Water circulating coolers won't electrocute anyone but as with ice,
they are also a pain in the :censored:

It is nice looking and I really like the size of it.  If you are serious about getting it, I would ask the seller to send you some more pics of all sides and of the inside.

The guy told me this model is an icebox....perhaps he doesn't know what he has and it's supposed have a compressor???

He said he has someone looking right now that may purchase, so I'll have to wait to see if that deal falls thru or not. :down: :darn:

It resembles the WD-50, but I believe that has an external cap catcher?

It looks like a Westinghouse Brand.

It is definately a Westinghouse WD-5. I can tell by the BO Bezel and the lack of embossed "Ice Cold" on the bottom front. The Cavalier 3-case had that embossment.
The real question is whether it is complete and cools! $500 is a good price!

Thanks for confirming I just checked my manuals, and I would say by the pictures it's a WD-5, is what I meant, darn you auto correct.

I paid 300 for the WD-10.

Anybody had any experience restoring the WD-10 with the 28-Z tub gasket via Funtroincs?  I have a sample piece, and I really can figure out how it supposed to be positioned.

PM me if you can help

Assuming the WD5 has a compressor, I'd say this one is not complete, especially since he told me it was just an icebox.  I have a feeling that these guys have no idea what they have and are passing it off as something it isn't....ignorantly.

Here are a couple of photos of the inside and rear of a complete WD-5
