Title: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: oscar on October 28, 2008, 09:39:12 pm I found a RC cola True cooler on craig's list in Louisville,Ky. The guy wants $500 for it and i told him i would take it.
I can't find this cooler in the soda machines book. It looks like the True N -416 but it doesn't have the angled off front. Does anyone have any idea what this cooler is? He said it was a slide up single door cooler. It cools and is complete. I know it's not much of a picture but it does look to be from the 50's. Nehi on the sides and RC on the front. http://louisville.craigslist.org/clt/896127111.html Title: Re: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: collecture on October 28, 2008, 10:08:30 pm I'd be careful with this one! The pic does not show much!
True did make a single door - is it embossed? Title: Re: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: loman4ec on October 28, 2008, 10:09:10 pm I cant be of any help but that is a really nice looking cooler. Great score!
Title: Re: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: oscar on October 28, 2008, 10:17:27 pm I don't know if it is embossed. The True cooler in the book isn't embossed, so i don't think this one will be either.
Title: Re: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: loman4ec on October 28, 2008, 10:23:05 pm How big is it? How many doors? Not embossed unless it is a one door then it is not worth $500.
Title: Re: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: oscar on October 28, 2008, 10:30:30 pm He said it was a one door. I don't see a one door in the book but the True N-416 is listed as a 5.0 and $1000 for average condition with not enough sold in restored condition to list a price. I went through the whole book and didn't see anything similar except the True N-416. It's close but isn't the same. I was hoping someone had run across one somewhere.
Title: Re: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: collecture on October 28, 2008, 11:14:30 pm If it does not have the curved front like the 416, then the $1000 value is out of the window. It is definately a slightly later model with the rounded corner rectangular shaped sides.
Can't hurt to take a look at it and let us know what you find (unless it is a few hours drive away)? Or ask the seller for more pictures? Title: Re: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: oscar on October 28, 2008, 11:31:15 pm I guess it could be a 60's model and that's why it isn't in the book.
I'm going to Evansville this weekend and i'm going to drive over and see it in louisville. Anything i should look out for? Title: Re: RC Cola True Cooler Post by: RC kid on October 29, 2008, 07:25:06 am Good luck. I hope it turns out to be something worth having.
