Kelvinator fe-s-52

[Windows]

Hi
I looked at a kelvinator fe-s-52 this weekend. Has anyone taken one apart ? Can the refrigeration evaporator coil be easily separated from the tub ? ( not tarred in like a gbv 50 is it ) it's a water bath unit made in London Ontario . It's in decent shape not running.... it was plugged in couldn't count the breaks in the cord. How hard are parts to get ? Definitely a interesting any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have one that is unrestored.  The refrigeration unit on these is different but I am sure that they can be repaired.  The chrome trim would be hard to replace as you just don't see too many of these coming up.  I like the looks of this machine and would love to restore it to working order but there are other projects ahead of it.  I am missing the part that covers the water circulator but another member on here said they would help me out in that department.  I guess I should follow up on that.

I have used mine as an ice cooler for several parties and it does not leak a drop and keep drinks cold until the next morning!

Let me know if you have any questions or want to see pictures.  There are other members with completely restored units.

I have never forgotten my quest to find you that cover.... Every time I search for coolers, or go to a garage sale, or to someones place to look for something else... I'm always looking for a kelvinator to use for parts etc...


One day I might find it....
Who ever would have thought that there would be a Canteen penny machine a few minutes from my home.... but there was  lol

I thought that all spare soda machine parts were found under the tables at flea markets. Maybe you're looking in the wrong place Ed?

Ed--I appreciate you continuing the quest.  There is another member who needed some info on this machine and was going to help in that regard.  I keep looking around here as well but that machine does not come up stateside much.

Congrats on the Canteen!

Yeah, it seemed to be more of a Canadian cooler...

As for the Canteen... I bought it for another member who actually found it first... I was just the middle man.

Was this the Canteen Gum Vendor that was recently on greedbay for a few weeks...?
