Yes it does look like that one .  And it runs very good, never missed a beat in all these years.  Thanks for your replies .  He still has it in his garage running.  But he wanted to know value of it now?

Most are used exactly as your brothers is,, in the garage to hold beer ect !! Few want to deal with the freezer and defrosting !! They were not frost free and most could turn to a solid block of ice !!  But if advertised as an alternative beer cooler for the guys might get $75. to $100.  !!
