Title: Atlas Standard cap catcher question
Post by: jaypatrick on July 30, 2013, 09:23:31 pm
Hi all - first post here. I've owned a Dr Pepper cooler for a few years now, and am now getting around to restoring it. It's missing the cap catcher (of course), and I'm looking for a little help from those who might be able to provide me with some info so I can fabricate my own. Would anyone happen to have some detailed images of that box, and specifically the cap catcher? Also looking for the catcher dimensions. Of course if someone happens to have an extra one lying around .... but I've heard that's highly unlikely.  Thanks much!

Welcome to the Site.

Is this the machine?

 You may have to just make something off of the picture.  It doesn't look like anything special almost looks like a Westinghouse Capcatcher off a Junior, just longer.

        I believe one of our members, Ray just aquired a restored cooler like that from an estate sale.

        Hopefully he will share some info on it when it arrives.
