Title: From left over pieces
Post by: Eric on April 06, 2008, 08:02:32 pm
Well.. took that $12 Quikold standard apart today,
the tub is shot as well as the base.... But all four panels
and the lids are solid. Then after I got it all apart I started
messing with the left over pieces from another junior I have...
So what do you think?
I need to have a tub and base made anyway might as well
do a junior. I think I'm gonna restore it the CheerUp or
some type of small brand that wouldn't have embossed...

Sorry for the double image... still trying to get this size of images down...
I size them in Photoshop... then hit it twice...anyway this is what I'm thinking
of doing.

Wow! great idea. I hate to see any soda related parts go to waste.

I need to make a base for my seven-up quickold. When you finish your's, please post some pics. Thanks

       I agree, and think you should carry this one step further, weld in embossed
letters on each side.
       I have R.C embossing from a 55 slider for you, and heard there might be
another set up in Portland soon.

Glen, What is the size of the embossing from the slider? I was thinking of making my RC ST56 embossed. There never was one made so I don't feel bad making a fantasy machine.

Thanks Glen but send it Josh's way.... I'm gonna redo that CheerUp Decal
so it won't be lost to the ages :smile:
But thanks as always - you're the man!
