Hey guys,
Not on here very much lately (just busy), but do check in now and then. Even so, I've found that I'm not forgotten. Big thanks to Ron (cokecolaman) for messaging me about a close-by eBay BIN!
I've always like the size and all of the embossing. Machine was complete except for the locking bar, but I had one. Body is straight. I was not too thrilled that all the chrome trim pieces had been re-chromed (bad sign usually). You could barely read Westinghouse in the bezel and the Coin Return slide was worse! I probably would have bought it anyway because the mech is worth the purchase price, but the deciding factor was that I had a spare WC door.  Fortunately, the bottle chute chrome was decently done!
I don't know whether the refrigeration works and probably won't try to test it for some time yet. Wastinghouse machines are a bit tricky to wire and somebody's fingers have been messing with this one. I just added my trim pieces and put it in the shed.

I'll paint the spare coin door and put on all of the poorly chromed trim and make it into wall art! I think it will look cool!
