Title: G.e. pepsi cooler, new find
Post by: johnieG on December 06, 2004, 08:36:50 pm
Well I found another toy, just thought I'd post a Pic' to share & you can see a restored one in Jeff Walters 3rd Ed. handbook page # 158

I installed a new belt & she fired right up! Ice Cold in minutes! quiet too! everthing's embossed!!!the "hit's the spot" & side-caps all of the lettering/Pepsi ying-yang & the tops of the lids too! only thing missing are the bottom panels, but they are just plain & should be easy to fabricate..

PS; something Jeff didn't mention in his book about this cooler, it's a wet (water-bath) type.

Wow!! Where did you find that? I really like the pepsi logo. I think that is the best looking cooler I have seen yet. Good find John.

It was located over in Grandrapids, MI. about a 2-1/2 hour ride from Flint.  I've already got a local "Pepsi-Freak" offering to trade me for a Squirt slider & some cash for it...

I think I would keep that one if I were you. I have never seen one like it.
