Before Restoration  
After Restoration

Disassembly

Complete disassembally, every screw, nut and bolt.

 

Sanding Striping

All painted parts were bead blasted to bare metal.

BodyWork

Minor dents straightened as much as possible, repaired with body filler

 

MetalWork

All metal parts were powdercoated.

 

Painting

The painting was done by Chad Britian, he does quality work.

 

EmbossingDecals

Embossing was done by putting on a base coat of white, then Coca Cola red, then buffing/sanding down on raised surface back down to the white. Comes out perfect!

Rubber

All new seals and gaskets.

Replating

All exterior metal was rechromed.

 

Coin Mech

Coin mech just got a good cleaning and adjusting, works great!

 

Cooling System

This box was converted from a wet box to a dry box. A new cooling deck and evaporator was added. The problem with this is that the Vendo 139 spin tops were poorly insulated and would sweat with cool air circulating under it. I resolved this by creating a sub-lid out of a spare top and a double layer of neoprene. When a bottle is removed, the hole is immediately sealed, keeping the cold air around the bottles, and away from the lid.

Electrical

All new wiring.
