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!
