Title: What is it?
Post by: b.raven70 on December 05, 2017, 09:40:19 am
Can anyone tell me what make this is. Small tag on left side that only says 311. Tag on compressor deck is badly worn and hard to read. I will attempt to post more pics, I'm having trouble getting them to post. It's a working cooler I bought with no knowledge of what it is. Figure the sign is worth what I have in it. Any help word be greatly appreciated.

Yep, Atlas Junior Electric. Great that it still cools.

Thanks guys. I'm thanking about adding some type of top to make it into a bar. Then utilizing side door for access to cooler. Any ideas or thoughts on that?

I'm not so sure this is a Electric Junior...  Even though there is a single lift lid, the cooler looks too wide to be a junior and has the cap catcher mounted on the front, not the right side; more over, no junior ever had a side access door.
I think this is one of the Atlas "Slider" Models, of which escapes me at the moment... Inside view picture shows something on the left inside wall that could have been where the shaft came through the cabinet for the gate...
Can you post a photo of the left side of this cooler?

In this case the dimensions would help as well.

I will post some more pics and dimensions when I get back home Saturday. There is at least one hole on the left side a few inches from the top. I will also post the dimensions.
