Newbie from Atlanta with 3 machines (so far)

[rcat8872]

Hey guys, awesome site!  Been lurking around for a few months and finally decided to join yesterday.  Bought three machines over the past year and going to look at another one tomorrow.  My two square tops (Vendorlator 56 and Vendo 63) are running pretty good and looking forward to getting them in top shape with all the info available at this site.  My Victor 2 door rolltop is gonna need a little more work to get it running again.  I tried to post pics a couple of times but couldn't figure it out just yet.  I'll have pics up as soon as I can and look forward to learning from everybody.
Tks,
Rodney

Welcome Rodney!  Would love to see pictures of the Victor 2 Door.  I have a 4 door that will be converted for use in my basement bar.

If you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you can re-size the photo using the "Edit Photo" function.  All photos have to be 100Kb or smaller.  I usually re-size using the predefined width and height of "Web Large" which is 640 x 480.  Hope that helps.

Creighton, Tim,
Thanks for the help!  Going to look at another V63 tomorrow that seems to be priced right.  I wasn't really looking for another woodgrain machine but I think I've got the "fever".

No cure for the fever :-)

        That 2 door Victor looks awesome, are you going to add a countertop to it?

Hello Rodney and welcome to the site , like the pepsi 56  &  the V63 looks ok  ( the woodgrain would have to go )

[rcat8872]

To answer a few questions...
I live in Fayetteville, about an hour south of Atlanta...come by anytime you're in the area.
Yes I'm planning on putting a countertop on top of the Victor.  The guy I bought it from already had a countertop made for it but it doesn't have any laminate applied so I guess I'll cross that bridge after I get the cooler re-wired.

Bought another V63 yesterday for 100 bucks, yeah it's woodgrain and a little rough on the outside but cools really well (down in the low 20's) so I figured it was a good buy.  Had to drill out lock and cleaned out a nest or two.  Couple of issues I wanna ask you guys about...
Coin mech is set to 50 cents and seems to be working but only accepts about half of the quarters I put in it.  Any suggestions?
Also, getting a rattling noise from the compressor area.  It sounds like something is loose and vibrating.  I'm in the process of inspecting the fan shroud to see if the fan is rubbing against something but no luck so far.
Thanks for any info in advance
Rodney

Rodney welcome to the group!
 I like the square top machines and have a few myself. The rattles are usually a loose or broken part.
