Well she is not perfect but I finally got it put back together and moved into the house. One day I will get around to getting the coin mec replaced but for now the free vend works just fine. Thanks to everyone on this board that helped this newbie out with his first build. I am already itching for the next one.  |

After disassembling mine I started to wonder what I had gotten myself into but one piece at a time it all came together.
Thanks Kilroy

Oh, It was even worse after blasting... spent the most time in the metal work on this door. I hope they enjoyed that $2.40 in dimes.  |

I am not sure just yet but I want the next project to be a bit smaller. Been looking at a WD-5 but don't think the owner is ready to come off of it just yet.  |

Looks very nice! Your original machine was all red, where did you come up with the stainless trim between the red/white for your new one?

IlikeCoinOp, Thank you and I think it was Red and White. Under the liner you can see the original paint, the tar on top of the red. The previous owner had put a coat of cheap red paint all over everything and never disassembled it to do so it was quite a mess to get all the parts clean. But the true Original color is still a bit of a mystery to me.
The trim is not original but looks good on these machines. It is just simple automotive trim you can get at your local parts store.

Looks great, nice job. My first machine ever was a Cavalier 96 so I'll always have a soft spot for that machine. Enjoy it!
