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?

Haven't heard that name in a while. We had a Curtis Mathes TV in the 70s. I hated it because I wanted a new TV with a remote. My dad said he already had a remote to change the channels for him--me. "Cool" fan though.

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.

that's a very cool fan, and a very cool idea.
i'm sure she'll love it.

My folks had one just like that. The motor isn't much of a deal, just about anything will turn it.

The boxes were made out of mahogany. They were built like fine furniture. This was before homes had AC, so having a box fan in the living room, it had to look nice. Most of them were built in Ft. Worth, TX.
