Can you get a better close up of the strips ? Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: TomFromJersey on July 24, 2013, 09:47:48 pm Either type of those strips are very hard to come by.

Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: Eric on July 25, 2013, 12:00:48 pm Similar chrome strips as on a Vendo 81
Here are a couple examples. Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: BONOVOX on July 25, 2013, 12:33:01 pm That Pepsi cooler pictured above looks sweet.
:happydrinkers: Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: Ltransam on July 25, 2013, 01:13:02 pm I scraped out a General Cooler and kept the moldings .They Might Work?? The Backs Are Shorter Crap Pic wont Load its To Big .I'll try later when I get Home Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: Eric on July 25, 2013, 01:33:49 pm That Pepsi cooler pictured above looks sweet. :happydrinkers: Thanks... Got it through a very good friend... It's in line with a few others to restore someday. Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: ld26 on July 25, 2013, 06:24:40 pm thanks for the pics Eric, anybody know if ge strips will fit?
Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: collecture on July 25, 2013, 07:23:08 pm Looks like the main door side trim from a Westinghouse WC-78 could be cut to fit.
Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: ld26 on July 25, 2013, 07:27:11 pm yes looks similar, thanks, I'm going to try to exhaust all efforts to get originals first though, Eric was also saying that they sell it in lengths on ebay as well...
Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: BONOVOX on July 26, 2013, 09:56:00 am wow, now that's going Macgyver! Good thought!
:happydrinkers: Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: johnieG on July 26, 2013, 07:48:20 pm Looks like the main door side trim from a Westinghouse WC-78 could be cut to fit. Those trim strips are about the same width, but you'll have a bugger of a time getting them to fit the curve at the top of the Quikold with having them kink. the trim off of a Victor cooler could be cut to fit too.

I have no affiliation with this company, , save the link when it comes time for counter trim in the kitchen redo. Yeah, you can look for original trim, but I think you will have a lot of time on your hands while you do Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: ld26 on July 27, 2013, 08:41:26 am thanks for the info guys, I'll keep looking for original until I can't wait any longer
Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: Ltransam on August 06, 2013, 06:36:30 am Here's the Stainless I removed from an Old General Cooler The 2 long ones are 30 inch's and the short 2 are 15 inch's They use a slide in clip .I know I had the clips at one time ??? But can not locate them know Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: Eric on August 06, 2013, 09:32:25 am On the short ones... can you measure tip to tip... the chrome pieces on my Pepsi are about 16.25, if including the curved part..
I think these shorter pieces might be what he needs.. And are they smooth not debossed ribs running down them? Way to go! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: tkaz on August 06, 2013, 07:05:00 pm Would these work, there's a couple of auctions for each one

Title: Re: Quikold Standard Front Strips Post by: Seven181 on August 06, 2013, 10:28:10 pm I might sell parts off mine, if the cooler does not sell on ebay.
