1939 Frigidaire Cavalier belt-drive water-bath Coke cooler!

Here's another very uncommon one! This is a Coca-Cola branded chest cooler used to merchandize soft drinks in retail stores. This is one of the water-bath type which circulates ice cold water around the bottles, for very rapid bottle cooling.  These were only used for a very short period of time for a variety of reasons. Also as you know many of the things from before the War were lost due to scrap metal drives to support the war effort.  This one survived history unfolding around it; and made it to the  modern day intact - only to almost be ruined by an incompetent repair person.   In this video series, it gets fixed up properly. This has a similar cooling unit to the 1934 and 1935 Frigidaire domestic fridges. 

The videos are linked below. Hope you enjoy them!
Sincerely,
David
