Hello all, I am glad to finally be a member of this Discussion group. I have an old machine that I recently acquired. I need to make some repairs to it so Identifying it is important (I assume) so that I can get the right parts for it. I have included pictures. I think it is somewhere in the 1970's and I think it might be a westinghouse as it looks very similar to the model WT-170-5. however the top of the machine is all wrong for that mine is much taller. Anyways any help would be grand. Deacon Tucson, AZ  |

Most of us on this forum won't consider that and "OLD" machine and therefore you may not get alot of response.. it's not that we are not helpful, just that push buttom type of machines are not really collectable and parts will be near impossible to find for them.
Good luck however, and hope you can get it up and running...

Yes that does help. I am assuming that the parts from that era are pretty universal? Such as Coin mechs and relays the thermostats.

If you are bored, you can look up the individual patent numbers. That could point you in a direction on the manufacturer, unless they just license that particular patent from the holder.
Just a thought...

With using the Cornelius name on google I found a picture of a machine that is an exact match to mine. It seems it belongs to someone on the this web site as the picture is on the here under the name Mark listed as a Cornelius type 120.
Can anyone confirm this.

I think you may have found your machine,  the Cornelius 120 looks to be the the same. Its a very good starting point. |

Deacon,
The last Pat. No. on the name tag was assigned to Cornelius Co., Anoka, MN in 1965.
Hope this helps.
