My Jockey Box Rebuild

So I was at a thrift store a while back and came across this old beat up coleman cooler than had some plastic taps labeled for soda. I go over to it and open it and it is full of hoses, post fittings, a regulator, and at the bottom a grungy looking 5 pass chill plate.

So for $10 I figured what the hell.

This is what I ended up with.

I decided to sand it down and fill in some of the bigger dents. I then painted it up and I was at this stage.

 

Well I'm also not sure why the images aren't showing up. I'm hosting them in photo bucket and am using the insert image button and copying the URL.

Anyways just in case they start to work when all was said and done after cleaning 20 year old soda out of the lines and chill plates I ended up with a nice set up that I put my VandalEyes PA through.







If the pictures don't work this way you can check this link which discusses the thriftiness and the rebuild. https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/183955/item/3776180#item3776180

 

You're using the "Email & IM" link, which doesn't seem to show up here. I usually use the "Direct" link and it will automatically be resized, but should show up just fine otherwise.

Looks like a steal at $10. I've tried to get my hands on some of those faucets for soda, but new they're like $90 each from CHI.

 

Well I may end up selling the faucets I haven't decided yet.

 

Also thanks for the info about the pictures. To use the direct link do I need to be a forum sponsor?

 

Nope.

Pull up the photo you want in your "bucket", Go to the column on the right, and select the bottom one, that says "IMG".

Kinda' like this :



It will momentarily flash "copied", then go to your post and "paste".

 

Okay, that works. Thanks.

So here are the before photos.

 

And here are the after pictures.

 

Bravo!

Lemme' know, if ya' wanna' part with those 5 dollar faucets..........

I've been schemin' and dreamin' up a project for some of that style.

 

Thanks. I imagine I will most likely get rid of the soda faucets at some point. I have cleaned 2 of them, still need to clean the other 2. Ideally I would love to trade them for some beer faucets.

 

Just out of curiosity, whereabouts in Utah are you?

 

Up near the Idaho border. North of Ogden.

 

Like I said, keep me in mind, and good luck with your trade search!

I'd take them dirty, from the hoses out, for the price I mentioned, plus shipping.........
