Will CLR clean up the shelves? What else can be used? Plan on starting the clean up this weekend.

Me thinks yon shelves are a jubble  '<img'>

Remember, when transporting machines on their backs, always remove the shelves. they can fall & bang around & even damage the evaporator coils or the refrigerant lines.

The shelves are gray with age, and this is normal for galvanizing (zinc plating) take then out & use a steel wool pad with hot soapy water in the laundry tub & they'll be fine for use, if you insist on get them shiny-new then you can use CLR & RUBBER-GLOVES/LONGSLEEVES & lightly srub them with the steel wool, if you rub too hard, well you'll remove all of the galvanizing & yea they'll be shiny, for about a week untill they start to rust. so go easy.

some people have the shelves powder-coated, others clean & paint them with Hammer-tone paint, but if you are just getting the machine cleaned up for your use, & not "restoring it" then soap & water+elbow grease will do fine.   ':<img:'>  well that's my suggestion.

I've always done just what johnieg suggested - steel wool and a good cleaner.  For my machines, I've never been a fan of going crazy powder coating the interior machine components - but then again I don't resell.  I just like the honest clean factory look for myself.  A fairly worn look inside the machine is fine with me, as long as things are tidied up and the refrig components are cleaned, degreased, etc..  I think of these machines as old soldiers - I don't want to dress them up too pretty  ':<img:'> .

I'll keep the cleaning of the shelves to just getting the grime off, Not planning on scrubbing until they shine.

Has anyone seen wiring done like this before? Goes off into 5 directions.

 My machine really needs rewiring, it's brittle as a dry twig.

little box next to coin mech.

[This is the vending relay, it controls the vending soleniod, it gets power from the door harness, gives it to the coinmech switch, which controls/triggers the vending relay..which triggers the vending soleniod.]...JohnieG

Johnnie,
I have an electrician coming out next week to take a look at both of my machines, need to know if possibly this Pepsi machine can be wired up to take a coinco coin mech someway.

Thought about cutting the chutes down to fit.

What would you do?

perhaps this basic wiring diagram may assist you....it doesn't show the evaporator fan motor,or the compressor fan motor for clarity..
