Westinghouse Jr.
Beyond complete restoration.
This classic machine was found was missing half if its body. Unfortunately too much of it was missing so doing an authentic restoration was out of the question. The owner did have fond memories of it and wanted to keep it. Our solution was to make a stand for it. While it is not original it does have a somewhat authentic look and it makes the chest useable. After the damaged sections were cut away, the panels were straightened, then it was repainted and the lettering was done by hand. We put in new foam insulation and had a new stainless steel tub made for it, we used a couple of pan braces HP120 to support it just like the junior had originally. We put a new lid HP2 on along with 2 hinges HP12A and a new handle HP14C. We also applied a new gasket R15A along with a new bottle opener HP25A and Cap Catcher HP30N.
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 piece back to life!
The new lease of life our restoration gave to this vintage soda machine is something the owners will be able to use and enjoy for a long time to come.
