So I just found this site a few days ago when I first got a Westinghouse Standard cooler that used to belong to my grandparents.
But I did a restoration / conversion on this back in 2006.
Since I am new to the forums I thought I would show some before and after pictures.
When I got it, it was a Pepsi machine. Not sure if that was original or not though. And it was in terrible condition.
I did a complete tear down and took the shell to be straightened / pained @ a body shop.
The liner I did with Hammertone paint. If I had to do it again, I would likely have it powder coated.
Compressor worked great and was in good overall condition, so I just cleaned it up and polished the copper.
Had some custom decals made. Still need a few more for the front of the machine, but just haven't gotten around to it.
I would love to hear some opinions on it!
