Title: Orange crush cooler
Post by: on January 04, 2003, 02:48:24 pm
Hi,
I got this orange crush cooler not too long ago and traded it with my other stuffs. I have no idea about this machine.. what year?, model #? etc.. I have looked in several soda machine books and couldn't find similar to this one.
Your help would be greatly appreciated,

Kathy,
I can honestly say that I have never seen this type of cooler...
Can you read the model on the ID tag? I can see it's manufacturered by the Portable Elevator Mfg. company.
I would estimate it's from the late 40's - early 50's.
With your permission, I would like to include this machine in our Soda Machines Listing...?
Sorry I'm not much help on this one...

Hi Jim,
Yes, you have my permission to add this in your Soda Machine Listing.
The model# is QC-510E Serial#13256. The motor runs well and don't know if it works perfectly..
Thanks,

You know it looks like the 7up chest cooleron the the front cover of Jeff Walters Classic Soda Machines 3rd. Edition.
That is what I think.

Went through the books again and glanced one (PELCO 510-E)that looks so much exactly like one I have in Classic Soda Machines by Jeff Walters (one I have is published in 1995) page 294. Except it says it is not embossed but the one I have is embossed. I am guessing the word on the body saying Portable Elevator Mfg. Co. is shortened for PELCO? Please correct me if I am wrong about this. Is it rare? Value for this machine?

Well based on Jeff's Book, 3rd edition page No. 308, it's a 5.0 on the rarity scale & "rare" in even finding any! So I'd say an embossed example in any soda-brand is a big find! I'll convert & post your Picture so others can see the cooler, congrat's
