Recent update. Spent Friday hanging out with Eric at the world famous GLOBAL COMPRESSORS headquarters. Learned the ways of the force and how to rewire a compressor. Yes, Im pretty green. Anyways, due to concerns over cutting into the refrigeration coil on the tub the only real option I was left with was working the drink shafts back in place. This was going to be a chore, but not as much as cutting each one out. Spent 3 hours today bending and prying a good circle back. I have a 8 oz Coke bottle I obviously used to check each one and it actually came in handy working some of the dents out. Those bottles are tough! BEFORE:  AFTER:  Also started sanding down the compressor for repainting. The copper lines will be repainted as well.  |

I have taken a piece of wood and ground it down on my bench grinder to a point and used it to drive down in the tubes and straighten them out.

You got me. It's a big reason I got this puppy so cheap. Seller didn't know...of course. I can stand on this thing and not bend them, pretty much take a bowling ball falling at about terminal velocity to crater this thing they way it did. I have taken a piece of wood and ground it down on my bench grinder to a point and used it to drive down in the tubes and straighten them out.
Good idea, might try that tomorrow. Doesn't need much more, just some nice massaging to get the crinkles out and allow the bottle to slide in without any catching. |

Once you have the tops roughly open, you could use one of these muffler pipe expansion tools to expand them without much effort. (you can rent them)

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Love it Johnie! I was thinking the same thing, those little beasties work really well. If you have a Harbor Freight Tools (aka Horrible Freight) near you, you can pick one up for less than $20. |
