Okay, I received the key from Funtronics (Thanks, Rod & Janet!).  Here are some interior shots.  Sorry for the inability to open the door all the way, but it's out in my shed.  Other than being dirty, it didn't look too bad.  It's missing one shelf, but everything else seems to be there.  The condensation pan still had the fiberglass plates in it.  When I get it in the house after Christmas, I will start tearing it down.  This is going to take me quite a while, as I will be doing a complete restoration.  But, the end result should be good.

There were no old coins in the machine.  I did find a bottle of eye drops from 1981 and a block of pecan-flavored cheese (like something you'd get in a Hickory Farms gift pack).

Nice score, and a bonus block of well aged cheese just in time for Christmas! Will you be keeping it or giving it as a gift? Maybe to some "favorite" relative or inlaw.  laugh

That is a cool story and nice machine as well. I have a soft spot for 110's. I used to buy them up like crazzy as the 81's were going for large coin.
