Title: just picked up, heintz gullwing Post by: ld26 on January 13, 2013, 10:26:25 am hey guys,
picked this one up yesterday, think its a pretty nice original with all the parts, racks, cap catcher, opener, even has wheels, which I didn't realize until we were loading it into my truck, the seller picked it out of a barn loft about 10 years ago, pretty cool, I'm psyched to have it, although if anyone has been looking for one of these and has a quikold jr or standard they'd like to trade I'm all ears....

Quikold?.. What's a Quikold? :smile: Title: Re: just picked up, heintz gullwing Post by: ld26 on January 14, 2013, 12:15:14 pm ha Eric, I knew you wouldn't be able to let that slide, I had to throw the quikold thing in there...hey your probably getting tired of that Nichol Kola one you have right? lets do a straight up swap, this gullwing is like twice the size which makes it twice as good..

Now that is just plain funny as hell. BC ps Nice grab Title: Re: just picked up, heintz gullwing Post by: Eric on January 14, 2013, 03:01:19 pm I've never seen this cooler in any other brand... A lot of time and money went into this cooler
for Pepsi and don't think it was in the market too long... just the double dot... I had one but was rough also had the other Heintz single lift top... both gone... Again nice rare cooler... nice score! Title: Re: just picked up, heintz gullwing Post by: ld26 on January 14, 2013, 08:08:40 pm thanks guys, I like the weird ones, I took a closer look today, I think this started life as a refrigerated version, in this picture you can see what looks like a thermostat, the other cooling components must have been ripped out and repurposed or something

Kind of wish I had never sold that one now. :darn:
