Wow another awsome weekend. Picked up this rare Atlas master cooler that is complete. It has the original compressor and drum inside. This came from the same local town that I purchased the Atlas junior from, but a different guy. He also sold me a small Pepsi carry cooler and 7up carry cooler. I'm still working on getting him to sell me some of his barber chairs. Not often that you can find two rare machines from the same bottling plant in nice complete condition. I am going to restore the pair and probally keep the junior. The Master cooler I may part with after it is restored. Not sure yet, as it will be hard to seperate them.  upside

     That looks great, please take another picture of it sitting next to the junior.

       I would be very reluctant to take any sandpaper to that machine. 
       Polished up and in original working condition would bring your greatest return on investment IMHO.
       This is what people are mostly searching for, a daily user with lots of history.
       Ray was selling a restored non coin-op version last year, hope we get a picture on here, they do look stunning when done.

       Both are exiting finds there Rod, thanks for sharing!

Killer machine.. you need to add to your building and open a museum on machines.
Like Moondawg said she might turn out really nice with some elbow grease... nice survivors are becoming the thing with gas pumps too.
Great finds Rod. happydrinkers

The left lever turns the drum, and the middle one is the door that you lift open to get the bottle out.
