Title: How about this bunch all seven for $10,000 Post by: davethebirdman on November 09, 2007, 09:05:39 am http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260180247449&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016 Spoke with the seller to see if he'd sell me a few bits off The Jacobs 50, particularily if they are being sold for decoration. Not interested at the moment but might be I suppose if they don't sell.

This appears to be a Westinghouse WE-6. These types of coolers usually have rust problems with the lids, especially along the hinged edges. It should have embossing on all four sides and this one may have casters as well. One other area these coolers seem to have wrong is circulation motor troubles; sometimes they work forever and others just stop working. I believe there are replacements available though... On the good side, it appears to be complete although I cannot see if the agitator and motor are present.

You can usually obtain them in the US for $300-$500. |
