I have Both... Super & Deluxe... The Deluxe (Having the Coke Logo on the back with chrome around it,turn handle nozzle etc.) Just like this one in this thread ...It's the one making the sand sliding around nose..... What do you do?.......

Eric,
 I was hoping it was the Super as it would be easier to get in and remove the lose insulation.
 So first thing is getting the old stuff out. I haven’t taken mine apart far enough to see if there is away to get inside between the out shell and ice tank. I would think that there should be a fitting on at least one of the three holes in the bottom and you should be able to remove that to get access to the insulation. Once you are there I would use a shop-vac to clean it out. After that you could poor in a rust sealer, but I would be very careful to make sure it didn’t leak out and damage the paint or worse the plastic Coke emblem. Also I don’t know what the sealer might do to any remaining insulation so I would poor it on some that you removed to make sure it won’t make a big mess that would be hard to deal with inside the dispenser. Also check to make sure it won’t damage the rubber seal. So after all that you will need to decide if you want to replace the insulation. If it is just for display you don’t have to worry about keeping the ice cold, so you shouldn’t need it for that. I have noticed one other thing the insulation does though and that is sound damping. I have two multiplex dispensers one with insulation and without.  Every time someone wants to see how they work and I show them how to turn the handle and open the lid your hard a hollow tin sound on the dispenser without insulation. This drives me nuts. Getting the replacement insulation back in will be a real pain, but if you are like me it might be worth the effort. Let me know if you have more questions,

I would remove the emblem first (it just twist off)... Then finding a way to get to the insulation then removing what I hear, check for places that could allow leaks... and then pouring CLR into it and let it set for a few hours, drain that, then pour what your talking about some type of rust nutralizer/sealer into it, let that dry then maybe a spray insulation foam?...

Just would hate to restore then someday find a weak spot that would rust when I could have prevented it.
