Title: Deepfreeze coke cooler model 1u01
Post by: SIGNGUY on August 17, 2006, 08:06:42 pm
I had a guy email me today to see if I was interested in his Coke cooler, he said it was a DeepFreeze Coke Cooler model 1U01. The only reference to Deepfreeze coolers on this site was a picture of a pepsi machine with no other info. The unfortunate thing however is that this same individual said that the machine was just recently in a garage fire!! Go Figure! I have not recieved photos yet, but he says it was complete and operating about 15 years ago when stored. it was coca cola red with an embossed Coke Button sign or bottle cap sign attached the front. I have not found much more info on this machine, and if restorable, not even sure what the value of it migh be? ANYONE have any information to help me make a decision wether or not to pick this one up. I dont have photos yet and that will be the deciding factor to see if the fire destroyed it beyond restoration... And what does a fire do to a compressor?? The only reference I have on this one is the photo on this site, see below. More to come!!!
** photo not of the actual machine but only reference i have to one**

Thanks, I'm not sure what I'm going to do.. because don't even know what to offer the guy based on condition of course after the fire... or what a fair offer would have been for it Pre-Fire...
What do you think these things are worth, in original condition??  I was thinking 200 bucks? low/high I have no idea... ?

Jeff Walter's 3rd book lists average condition value as $875. He also states that apparently these were only made for Pepsi.
