Hi all
I finally got to pick up the Vendo HA56B I posted about a few weeks ago. I am giving it a good cleaning, and am happy with how things are looking. Has anyone come up with a name for the crud that builds up in the far reaches of an old pop machine- ugh... The nice thing is that for the most part there is pretty shiny paint under that crud.
There are some water marks between the glass on the door and I'm a bit freaked that I'll break the glass getting it apart. I've removed all the screws, ran a scraper around all the edges, and it seems that the glass should pop out of the outer frame, but it isn't. Is there a trick to this?
Thanks

First you get a big hammer...  make sure you remove the hinge-side screws too. |

Don't worry about breaking it, any glass shop can cut new ones at a modest cost.
Anyways, after going through all the work of removing them, I wouldn't think of
installing the old panes back in, new glass is so much clearer.

I've made it a common thing that I do when I restore a machine, the glass always
get replaced . Sometimes that old original glass is brittle and will break
when it gets turned or twisted .

You said it best...The CRUD is also on the bottle door glass and is causing the metal to stick to it... just slowly work it free from the glass..
and when you go to seperate the glass from the rubber gasket... do it slowly...as you may want to reuse it if it's not too bad, but replacements are available as well.
and then just take the glass to a glass shop andthey'll cut new for you... it's the best way to go and you'll like it better.
Good luck
Let's see the machine!

Thanks, I'll go with new glass.
Here is a photo of the inside when I got it (it's much cleaner now), and the outside as it looks now.

Ocelp, or anyone else with a Vendo ha56 square corner machine, I just finished a restore but I couldn't remember the orientation of the glass/holes in the serving door. The 2 inner panes have holes and I have them both at the bottom of the door. Should one of the holes be at the top? And which pane the inner or middle? Thanks for any help. Tim  |

I believe that is correct, holes in the middle and inner panes at the bottom. On my machine the middle pane is plexiglass, inner and outer are glass. I'm assuming the holes are there to help control condensation, when I had replacement glass cut for my machine I didn't bother with the hole on the inner pane and the plexiglass middle pane was reused. So when I get it up and running I'll see how it goes and I may end up having to drill a hole in the inner pane if I get condensation.
Supra001 - got any pictures of the restore?

I'm getting condensation with the holes both being on the bottom of the door. Someone suggested to orient the holes opposite one another (one pane at the top, the other on the bottom) and the "draft" between the panes may purge the condesate air out. May be worth a try. I can't get my pics under the 100kb size limit. What program do you use to do that? Or I can email them to you!?
