Early
Vendo "39"
We
started by stripping each and every part off the machine and
then stripping the paint. The body panels were then straightened
out and given a new paint job with all the lettering of the
embossment done by hand. The coin door had new
D1W Coin Entry and Coin Return decals applied. We also put
in a new empty window lens P20.
Then came the HP25C
bottle opener, HP75A
bottle opener bezel and HP72B
coin entry chute. Once the coin mechanism was restored new decals
new patent notice decals
D64 and D65
were put on.
D44 “Insert Coin” “Sold Out was put on
the sold out flag HP43A.
The coin box HP28B
also had a new D49
put on. D47
was also applied to the door near the sold out flag. The crank
handle HP16A
was able to be re-chromed and reinstalled. When putting the
bottle chute back in we installed a new
R32 gasket. The main door latch sleeve
HP40 was still in good condition and a new R38 was installed.
And a new HP20A
lock and keys was installed. The body was given a new gasket,
in this case our R1.
After the main door was hung back on the machine
D75 the bottle loading instruction decal,
D94 patent notice decal and D48
Caution –Do Not Push basket decals were applied. The cooling
system was able to stay a true R12. The condenser used our EP2
on this particular machine along with a new fan blade our EP7
and the evaporator needed an EP2A
motor with an EP8
fan blade. Once the compressor system was put back in the machine
we put HP83
over the seam on the breaker strips on the cabinet. After all
the hard work is done and the machine is ready to go home we
replace the leg levelers
HP103. The originals are usually ugly and they were used
primarily on concrete so they may hurt the finish of your flooring.
While labor is a key element in any restoration our large supply
of reproduction vending machine parts such as the door and lid
gaskets, decals, breaker strips, locks, compressor parts brought
this vintage vending machine back to life! |
