 The 1949 Coca-Cola Cooler Radio was produced by Point-of-Purchase Displays Inc. in Chicago as an exclusive promotional in-store display for prime Coca-Cola retailers. Meaning these original tube radios (countless solid-state reproductions were made in the 1990's, with the tell-tale cassette tape player built in) are very scarce because they were not sold in retail outlets to the general public. They don't turn up very often. This example still has its original paint with only minor loss in small areas. Common to these, one of the side grill bars was broken out. A new one was carefully made and paint mixed to match the original color. It is barely noticeable. The five-tube chassis was completely recapped, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. An aux 3.5mm cord was attached at no extra cost for playing your own content through the radio. It receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. If you've always wanted an original tube powered Coke radio, here's a rare opportunity to acquire one. 12-1/2" W x 10" T x 8-1/2" D Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $599.00.
