Title: My Atlas DP Cooler is DONE!!
Post by: collecture on May 05, 2007, 04:37:50 pm
To make a long story short-
I got screwed on an eBay V56 and had a rust bucket shipped to Steve Jebb for restoration.
I picked up an incomplete V56 in LA later and took it up to The Soda Jerk Works outside of Fresno.
When I picked up the 2nd 56, I also picked up this cool little Atlas DP cooler.

It is like a Half Junior in size - measures 21" x 14" x 13.5".
There are no hinges for the top - it just rests on the gasket.
There are handles on each side and a handle on the lid.
Well he just sent me a couple of pics of it restored.
I am psyched - Enjoy!

Thanks guys!!
The DP cooler is pretty unique - I have never seen another like it.
Even the sign is a little different that the other brick logo signs.
It had a tag on the back that said Atlas Metal Works - Dallas Texas.
There was no model number - just a serial number.
The guy had tore it apart - cut the drain tube, etc. - but it was all there.
I jumped all over it for $50.

Tom,
When are you picking it up? Chances are you'll be coming through Tehachapi.

Looks good!  There is something about that Dr Pepper green I really like.

Terry,
I don't know yet how they are going to be coming home.
I have got an email into them as to what they want to do.
Meet in LA, Vegas, etc. - don't want to put them out, but if they are planning a trip...
I will actually be in CA (Laguna Beach) in early July (I'm going to try to get by Glen's place).
I'd have to rent a trailer then, but it would still might be cheaper than shipping.
I may just have them shipped - with gas prices nowadays, it can't be much more!
It would cost me $250 in gas alone!
We'll see...I'd love to see your place and machines.  :D

Well Tom, Steve can drop them off at my
shop, then when you get here we can figure out shipping.
