I have been collecting machines primarily, but the coolers do catch my eye. I run accross tons of these coolers, but almost always missing the tray. What do just the trays normally go for and any idea if and or where i could find them? I kinda assume that in order for me to find one I'll be needing to buy a trashed out cooler and getting the tray from one of those...?

Try funtronics, I know they have a reproduction tray for a cooler but not sure of the size. You might be able to get it to fit.

They come up on Ebay every once in a while, I'd say they typically are anywhere from $30-60 depending on the demand at the time...I could use 3 of them right now, but since my coolers are mostly for display I have just been checking bins under tables at flea markets hoping to find a few.

Thanks Guys!

Bins under tables at Flea markets are always the way to go.
I remember one time, I went to a table at a flea market where the seller was selling beanie babies... yet under the table I found all the parts I needed to finish off a Vendo 81 machine!  Who would have thought?!

I have found a lot of cooler trays at automotive swap meets. I have probably bought 10-15 of them over the years. I have also ran across them at flea markets and antique stores. Usually in the $10-20 range. I will keep my eyes open.

Just a few weeks ago I ran across two lids if anyone needs one. I'm not sure what they fit?

Lids for the picnic coolers??? Or the bigger coolers like on a westinghouse standard

Lids are for picnic coolers.
