Title: Quikold Pepsi Wet Cooler
Post by: bmw90w on December 12, 2020, 06:07:47 pm
Hey everyone, I have looked for info on this machine and can't find any. Plenty of info on the smaller guys but not this one. Are these 7 foot monsters junk? Just wondering what a fair offer would be or if I should pass. Metal is in great shape, and it cools. The panels that cover the front are available as well. Thanks for your help!

A yep... That's a big'n   if you've got room for it, them maybe..  :help:

it's a pretty early model as it has a belt-driven compressor peeking out from down below on the left, and so long as the bottom compartment covers are present,  I wouldn't offer more that $200, but for me personally since it's a wet-chest ( chilled water-cooler) I'd walk (run) away!  unless you need an eight-foot long 75 gallon chilled water aquarium ( can serve double-duty as a live bait well I suppose)

it's a really nice example of one on the most embossed coolers ever, I've repaired a few & converted them to dry-coolers, but they'll set you back on lettering / painting the logos alone. at least it has stainless steel sliding tops & not the embossed painted steel type

I did repair a Westinghouse Giant wet-chest once for some dude-ranch down in Texas, the owner kept ice-cold beers in it for the guests, he said a dry-cooler didn't work well in the Texas heat.  still running to date.

That is what I figured. Thank you!
