It's a very nice G.E. wet chest, ( it uses refrigerated water to keep the soda bottles cold) & although it's one the most embossed coolers you can find, they can be a challenge to restore with all of those Pepsi logo's being embossed ( even the lids), make darn sure it's complete, I see it has it's front compressor cover, but I don't see the cap catcher.  the tank is galvanized steel ( as opposed to a Westinghouse or Cavalier wet chest which came with stainless steel tanks) & it's prone to pin hole rust , the compressor is a semi-hermetic belt driven type that is very well built, & the water recirculating pump is up inside the tank tends to seize up after years of non use.  ( It's not too difficult to replace) $850 may be a tad on the high side..( in my opinion unless it's 100% complete & in running condition )  but it's a knock down beautiful machine when it's fully restored.

PS ...it may be missing it's "General Electric" front name-badge too, hard to see with the pictures provided..

Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor

"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

Thanks for the info JohnieG, he says it in good running condition in his add, I have not seen it yet if I do thanks for the heads up on what to look for, I have a few Westinghouse Coolers and can find parts for them but I didn't know how hard it was for this cooler.

It's missing the opener/cap catcher.. I had a non-electric I sold for $450 a few months back. Was complete and solid great coolers
one of the best Pepsi put out .. lots of embossing..
