Hi Everyone.
Ron from Albuquerque here...I am new to the forums and restoring coolers. My hobby is restoring older bikes and tonka trucks but thought I would give this a shot. Pickings are slim here out west for machines but found this artkraft pepsi cooler for a good price for a project. I can't find much information about it and any help would be appreciated. It is now apart and there is some rust through the bottom, a dent in one side and the two panels that covers the compressor unit are in really rough shape. Does anyone know if this had a cap catcher? Anyone have used panels that I can buy? Oh I need lids too. What type of lids did this unit have? The compressor seems to be working...I am having a friend check it out this week to verify. The interior is made out of copper and is in great shape. Thanks for the help in advance. I couldn't figure out how to post pictures here so here is a link to flicker where I have a picture of it. I look forward to learning more from you guys!
