Thanks stuntpilot, appreciate all your help here. This is going to be fun.
I purchased everything you posted. I can get a CO2 tank at a place that specializes in kegerators near my house. I'll go to Sam's or Costco for the syrup. I'm thinking I can have everything ready for install by next Friday.
I bought some Food Grade Sanitizer to clean out the syrup tank in the dispenser. Do you have any other suggestions for cleaning the dispenser or should this be enough?

I'm going to go thru the removal of the valve mechanism over the phone with you so you can see the inner workings of this valve, it's actually quite simple.
You will want to replace all the internal O-rings before you make an attempt at pressuring this piece up.
Any good sanitizer will be fine for the syrup tank, a mild bleach solution and scouring pad to shine it up.
When you remove the valve you see the area that really needs the cleaning

Thanks stuntpilot. I'll post as soon as I've got everything and then we can rock n roll. |

Now that's an old piece! Does that have a hole on the bottom and the lever allows it to open? If it does I think I can tell you what it is.  Not much use for this machine. Does not have a hole in the bottom, the pin on the back of the lever goes all the way through and the lever rotates 180° from straight up to straight down. It has a piece of 1/4" metal tubong connected to it that connects to one screwed end. That end has a couple internal gaskets and a very small hole to allow fluid to enter the piece. If it can't help Kaleid then I guess it doesn't really matter what it is, but it appears to be some sort of a shut off. |

Brian,
I think your right that it is just a simple shutoff.
I think you have a different machine and it was mounted inside the ice bin and was an earlier version of what I showed.
Does the machine you took apart look like the one I have on my avatar or the picture with the round handle? The Dole Deluxe.

Would it be better to just buy the regularly packaged syrup instead of the bag in the box or does it really matter?

The round handle was in my bag of parts so it must be the Deluxe. The machine is rough but the Coke Medalion on the back is in really nice shape. I need to put all the external pieces back on it and display it. Liner looks like its stainless, so it would make a cool ice bucket for the bar. |

Not sure what you mean by regularly packaged syrup, but if they still sell 1 gallon jugs that is the way to go. We don't have a Costco so I'm not familiar with what they sell, I thought Sam's only had BIB's. |

Do you have the mounting base for it? |
