Title: COCA COLA JUNIOR(CAVALIER) Post by: sgk101 on January 26, 2012, 05:09:34 pm I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE FOUND THIS OLD MACHINE SO COMPLETE AND IN GOOD SHAPE! IV'E STARTED ON THE RESTORATION AND THOUGHT YOU ALL WOULD ENJOY LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PICTURES. I WILL ADD SOME COMPLETED PICTURES WHEN I'M FINISHED. http://s1150.photobucket.com/albums/o605/sgkirk1/

Thanks for any advice you can give!

Thanks for any advice you can give! Yes...it is removed from the bottom.

Title: Re: COCA COLA JUNIOR(CAVALIER) Post by: sgk101 on February 01, 2012, 06:14:13 pm A TIP I FOUND THAT WORKS WELL ON THE HEAVY TARRED AREAS IS TO HEAT THE BACKSIDE OF THE AREA WITH A PROPANE TORCH, GO SLOW DONT HEAT TO MELTING, KEEP THE FLAME MOVING AROUND, THEN GENTLY PRY THE EDGE OF TAR WITH A SCREWDRIVER OR WOOD CHISEL AND IT WILL POP OUT CLEAN FROM THE METAL.

Title: Re: COCA COLA JUNIOR(CAVALIER) Post by: RC kid on February 01, 2012, 09:15:08 pm I love these little coolers. Fairly inexpensive and easy to restore.
