Title: It's raining Dr Pepper machines... Post by: Funtronics on June 10, 2014, 07:05:07 am Wow another awsome weekend. Picked up this rare Atlas master cooler that is complete. It has the original compressor and drum inside. This came from the same local town that I purchased the Atlas junior from, but a different guy. He also sold me a small Pepsi carry cooler and 7up carry cooler. I'm still working on getting him to sell me some of his barber chairs. Not often that you can find two rare machines from the same bottling plant in nice complete condition. I am going to restore the pair and probally keep the junior. The Master cooler I may part with after it is restored. Not sure yet, as it will be hard to seperate them. :upside:

Title: Re: It's raining Dr Pepper machines... Post by: MoonDawg on June 10, 2014, 07:42:00 am That looks great, please take another picture of it sitting next to the junior.
I would be very reluctant to take any sandpaper to that machine. Polished up and in original working condition would bring your greatest return on investment IMHO. This is what people are mostly searching for, a daily user with lots of history. Ray was selling a restored non coin-op version last year, hope we get a picture on here, they do look stunning when done. Both are exiting finds there Rod, thanks for sharing!

Like Moondawg said she might turn out really nice with some elbow grease... nice survivors are becoming the thing with gas pumps too. Great finds Rod. :happydrinkers: Title: Re: It's raining Dr Pepper machines... Post by: georgescustompaint on June 10, 2014, 08:46:55 am Wow that cooler is awesome !! Have never seen one like it !

The left lever turns the drum, and the middle one is the door that you lift open to get the bottle out.Title: Re: It's raining Dr Pepper machines...

Title: Re: It's raining Dr Pepper machines... Post by: sc1101 on June 10, 2014, 09:23:29 pm Being that rare I would keep them both! It makes an awesome pair. I always thought I would love to have your job but on second thought I would go broke. I'd be keeping everything and selling nothing. Guess that's why I'm on the collecting side and running out of space. :biggrin: Congrats on two great finds.
