Title: It was free for the taking Post by: Pat Pixley on May 18, 2003, 09:46:35 pm I have a friend who drives a tow truck ,who was at this house to pick up a car the people asked if he could take a old pop machine ,He said no but let me make a phone call. (to your's truly) So I Have this Kelvinator 180 in my garage .
Now I need some help. In Jeffs book it states that It can be used either as a wet or dry box. Question Wet as in water and how much water ? Second Does any body have a manual on this monster. Third does any one have one restored ? This one is in great body shape compressor & electric not so good. Any Help would be great Thanks Pat Title: It was free for the taking Post by: Jim on May 20, 2003, 08:19:49 am Hey Pat,
Another excellent find! And Free to boot! Can't assist with a manual... As far as the water level is concerned, check for a small horizontal embossed hash mark on the liner. If this isn't present, I would stand up some bottles and fill with water until the level is just below the bottle neck of the shortest bottle(s).

(make's this one a Dry Chest cooler) there was no mark.
I also talked to Steve Jebb today on this . There was a rack in there like a 55 slider with a coin mech. inside . Steve has talked me into putting a evaporator into the chest area so the will be the next thing to find is a donar machine with a good compessor . This chest cooler has great potential .
