Mathes Cooler!
Hey KC Peeps: My wife has an old fan from the 1940's that she saved from her mom and dad's house in Topeka. It's got a wood cabinet. I think it's called a Mathes Cooler. It was designed as a piece of living room furniture. My anniversary is coming up and would like to get this rebuilt and refurbished as a gift. I think my wife would really like that for sentimental value. Know anybody in KC, electrical handy man, garage project guy, who could fix something like this?

I don't know if a project like that would be in Phobia's wheelhouse or not? He may be worth checking with.

I opened the thread hoping to find some badass way of keeping beer cold. Sorry, no help here.

I think a buddy of mine can fix it. Got to find a similar motor. Should be able to find something from Grainger or similar. This is a purely sentimental thing. My wife's parents are both gone now, and her family home has changed hands several times since it was sold back in 2000. I think it reminds her of when she was a kid.
