First, a sincere thanks to everyone here for all the help. I'm sure I'll forget a few but I want to thank everyone. I got all my parts & decals from Soda Jerk Works & Funtronics. I bought some spare parts off a few members (tkaz & MoonDawg). I stole collecture's DP theme on a square top. JohnieG for coin mech repair and compressor restoration advice. Lastly, thanks to all that helped in my numerous threads. I am truly thankful for all the input. This was my first machine, so I had no clue what I was doing.
I still have a few little things I need to get done (Cavalier decal, ID plate, coin mech in, etc.). But, I have the major work done. I'm crossing my fingers that the compressor works well (I fired it up for a few days before I disassembled it and everything seemed to work well). It's getting cold, so I'll see how it's doing tomorrow.
A little background on the machine. My sister opened up a restaurant last year and they serve a bunch of bottled drinks. So, I wanted to surprise her with a machine for the restaurant. Here in the TX panhandle machines are scarce (or way overpriced), but I finally found this machine for $75. I originally planned to just find a decent machine and clean it up, but I couldn't find a decent priced one in good shape, so I had to restore this. I know it's a bigger one, but they have about a dozen bottled drinks, so this one will work out perfectly. I didn't want to spend a lot of money since I decided to personalize it and it's not collectable. I did all the work myself except the soda blasting, body paint, and sign. I took the coke light-up sign out and had a new one made with her restaurant logo. Below are some before and after pics. I'll surprise her with it in a few weeks.
