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 took my Mathes Cooler over to my pal Mr. Doggity. He's a lot handier than I am. He took it all apart, took out the motor, cleaned up, and re-oiled it, then cleaned up the rest of the unit, and it fired right up. Says it's running like new and I can come pick it up. Pic of the cleaned up item attached:

Just cost me a case of beer.
Pretty good deal.
Thanks Mr. Doggity!

What are friends for?!!

Doggity did a great job. I would have been considerably more expensive. Consider my offer though.

Sweet! It's a pretty thoughtful gift, and I'm sure your wife will love it.

On the back there's a silver aluminum cowling. Doggity had to remove that to get to the fan motor, and he's soaking it in vinegar to clean it up. It wraps around the back side and is held in place with several flat head screws across the top and bottom edge.

You should buy her childhood home for her instead!

Yeah, that guy is a little out of my price range.
The pop machines and gas pumps are very cool though. Be great toys to have if you were really rich.
