Title: Scored this Pepsi water cooler
Post by: Kaleid20 on October 05, 2012, 09:23:45 pm
Picked this cooler up for $500. Been hunting for one for a while now. No serious rust and totally complete. Doesn't work, but didn't matter to me because I want to convert it to electric. Going to be an anniversary present to my parents who just remodeled their lake house in Austin, where it will sit out on the deck holding plenty of white wine and beer.

Nice! the GE standard looks great when they're redone! ( hope you know a good sign painter/pin-striper!) do you mean your converting it from water cooled to air cooled? ( I assume so)

I hope your best friend is a sign painter with all the embossed stuff.  I had to  take out a second mortgage to get my "double" done. I can help you with how to "mask" over the Pepsi insignia to get it right.  They are great looking when they are finished.  Good luck.

I bought one of these several years ago but it's missing the bottom louvered section. If you have an extra one, let me know!
