Title: What do the Quikold Experts think of this one?

What do you guys think of this Dr Pepper Quikold?? Looks to be pretty nice. I think it is rare, as I have never seen this one in a standard.

Nice Quikold!  Looks like the 1400-WD2 listed in the Soda Machines section minus grate and cooling system.  I love it!

looked good... but I just couldn't do it... it's a master and lookes like some type of transition cooler
dry box/electric... Seller said it was a ice cooler but the base has the holes for the compressor.. the
Nesbitt's at Chicago last fall was a ice cooler master and had different support arms in the base (no holes)
still looks good and solid? Anyone here get it? I think it was a great price at $400...

The guy said it came out of an old store, never had a compressor and it has no holes for a compressor. He was told by someone who worked for DP at the time, that the rack was put on there, around WWII when some coolers had compressors and some were ice chest. He said for sure it is original with no compressor ever on it, but said he though the rack was one that went on the compresor style type coolers.

Contact the Coca Cola cowboy... I heard he found a Whole warehouse full of "EMBOSSED DR. PEPPER " Vendo 81's... Hmmm or I'm sure he could "find" one for you!  :biggrin: :biggrin:
