Title: Wd-5 restoration Post by: on September 27, 2005, 08:19:44 am Picked up a WD-5 at a local auction recently and am attempting a restore. Someone tried to spraypaint the thing and did a half way decent job, but the lid is too dark for the rest of it. It cools & the seals & body are in good shape, but its missing a few parts. Gone are the cap catcher & rear grill covering the compressor.
I've got a few questions... 1. Any idea where a person can get a cap catcher or the rear grill (though the grill isn't that important)? 2. Any advice on repaiting the embossed lettering? I've heard decals are available, but usually don't work too well. I don't have the money to take it to a professional and have it painted or screen printed.

Can you post an image? Love seeing what people are still finding....... Check with Funtronics for the cap catcher. Lettering is the thing I thnk you'll get a million differnet answers on... That will be the tough part..... Eric Title: Wd-5 restoration Post by: sodaworks on September 27, 2005, 09:47:07 am Welcome aboard Cdd,
If the cooler is going to be inside then the vinyl cut decal lettering will work great. I have several different grills in various sizes. What is the size opening you are looking for. |
