Nice - I love that little machine! I have two WD-5's, but paid a bit more for mine though.
I was thinking on re-doing mine in the WH paint scheme - does your ID plate say WH?
I had a heck of a time finding that bottle opener bezel - one of mine was missing it too.

Yes it is an original WH-5T. Can't I get the bezel from Fun-Tronics? That and the gasket is all I need, I bought a repro cap catcher already. I don't believe it had the Westinghouse script like the WD-5 did. I'm going back to original with this one. Nothing fancy, no extra chrome handle or kickplate. The only "option" I'll add is casters.

I believe it did (so I was told). To tell the truth, I have owned it for two years and have never seen it. I had my paint guy pick it up for me since it was local to him. The cooling deck is being redone/refinished as well by somebody else. I'll collect all the parts and put it back together.

Yes - I could tell it was an original WH-5T. I have two WD-5's with the all-red paint scheme, but I like the WH paint scheme. Just curious what the ID plate says so I can get it stamped correctly.
I could not get this exact BO bezel from any of the suppliers - had to buy an old Westy external cap catcher to get one. Been a few years though - matbe they have one now.

Attached is a semi-blurry pic of the underside of a repro V-81 four-tab bezel next to my WD-5 BO opening. The WD-5 has a wider opening and instead of two tabs on each side, it has one on each side and one on top & one on bottom. Fun-Tronics also carries a Cavalier 51/Westinghouse cooler bezel, but it has six tabs. SJW offers the same two.

Thanks for the heads up. Does the bezel fit other than the tab alignment? I'd hate to do it but new tab receivers could be put in the hole to match the part available. The old cut-outs would be covered and nobody would be any the wiser.

I'll start hunting for the correct one. If a new one is not available, I'd prefer a used one and polish it up vs hacking the hole.

It is one model of the bow out chest coolers - Westinghouse and Cavalier made.

....Does the bezel fit other than the tab alignment?.....

My pic above shows the repro 4-tab bezel held flat up against the machine. It barely covers it, but it does. I have never seen the 6-tab variety, but either supplier could help with exact dimensions. The four tabs don't reach, but I'm sure something else could be used to secure it. Liquid Nails maybe??

Here is a pic of mine. It is different and the discerning eye could tell. Is the machine for you or to sell?

I'm thinking this is a keeper. Love my WD-10, it's my workhorse, these chest coolers are so versitile and you are not forced to buy expensive bottles. This is the machine it would displace in the game room if I can bring myself to part with it.

Can you write out what it says?
I'm guessing 'Style' is upper left with 'Serial' to it's right
and 'Model' underneath.
Looks to be the same ID tag as mine, but obviously with different stampings.
Thanks!

This bexel is the same as the external WD-10 cap catchers, found one at Alan's in Granite Falls. Now I'm just waiting on him to finish the cooling deck to complete the restore. Insulated it with 3" of rigid foam on bottom, custom fit, and fiberglass on the sides. Should be very efficient. The rubber condensation drain boot was cut and painted over. I found an RV sink drain flange fit perfectly into the tub hole.
