This looks like a cabinet of an OC-2. Too bad they don't have the top |

Unfortunately I didn't know enough about what I was looking at to ask. They might have had it somewhere.

This is a parts catalog reprinted in 1954 with various sections updated at different time intervals. This was worth the trip for me. 1954 Parts Catalog Enhanced.pdfWow, that is impressive and comprehensive! Skimming through it revealed a few tidbits: Some of the flat tops had many feet of "kimsul" insulation somewhere (was it an alternative to thermocraft?) Apparently, it was used in homes too: inspectapedia.com/insulation/Balsam_Wool_Insulation.php#Kimsul_InsulationThey even had part numbers for the "Model CK oil demonstration unit" (section 6.3), including "old style", and "new style, with concealed internal lighting"!! I wonder if it's worthwhile uploading that to archive.org. At the very least, it probably deserves a thread in the reference section. |

I'll upload it to Archive.org tonight and cross post the link in the reference section.
The museum had two other parts catalogs of earlier vintage. This was the only one that I scanned. I figured it be most complete being 1954. The cross reference on parts is invaluable for me.

Done. I must say, that is high quality work. It certainly looks like a lot of time and effort went into the whole operation. Thank you very much for this! |
