The thread with the RCA Whirlpool cooler reminded me of a Norge cooler ad i had seen in a magazine from around 1962-63:this one was the only ad i had seen for this basicly beverage cooler that was ~3x the size of the one in the RCA whirlpool thread-about 12"deep,2'high,2.5' wide.Quite a bit of DC current would be needed to work this cooler,and this was made just about when silicon diode rectifiers started coming into common commercial use VS selenium that can be trouble when bad contact develops over time between dissimilar metals brass contact washer and lead overlay.
