I was able to finish off my Westinghouse 78 today!  It's polished, vending, set for .50 cents, adjusted for aluminum cans and has custom made flavor strips.  I thought that I was in the clear yesterday until I found out the hard way that "adjustments" needed to be made to allow the bigger soda cans to fall vend compared to the smaller soda bottles.

It turned out nice!
My Westy 60's are my workhorse machines!
I am sure the vend adjustments is the same as the S-O-M models. I have all of my links in the upper slot - cans in the outer columns and bottles in the center columns.
