I totally dig that road sign, I would take that as an omen! The machine looks ok though, just needs some TLC. When it comes to not "being able to control myself", I get caught up in that predicament all of the time! I go out into the garage with the door shut and don't wear a watch.........And before you know it...Well, you know the rest!!  '>

Here is the extra electrical for converting the metal sign to a much more favorable lighted one:

And here is the hole that goes from behind the coin door to behind the sign, for running electrical wires. I am so glad that I can make it a lighted sign:

Well that's it for pics now. But I will keep updating. I also need to get a new lock.

Oh, and I plugged it in for just a second and it seems to cool immediately. I did do a test vend of one of my Mexican Coke bottles and I had to pull very hard. Ideally, should it pull out easily? Or is it a hard tug regardless? I haven't used one of these machines since I was a little kid, so I don't remember.
I assume I have to lubricate all of the bottle rack's moving parts. What lube do you all use? Also, should I find some food safe oil (like for food concession parts) so that if any rubs off on the bottles it will be no biggie for my guests?
Thanks.

Thanks Brian. When I drove past the sign, I couldn't believe my eyes and then drove backward to it to take a pic of it because I knew that you all would get a kick out of it.
Here's another picture of the sign: |

Hi Kito,
you said the machine will be painted by Maaco. I asked around and searched the Internet. It seems to be that nobody is really lucky with the Maaco paint jobs. Does anyone have experiences with Maaco? I know they are really inexpensive but are their paintjobs really good? I dont know.  '>

loman4ec or somebody (sorry I don't recall who) here gave me the idea for Maaco.
What did you hear was bad?
Anybody here have a better suggestion?
