I imported a stoner with gum mint vendor to Australia to restore, concentrating on the internal vending rack before starting on the enclosure.
All internal rack parts were chemically stripped of paint and powder coated.
A few pictures are attached and a few questions as well.

I've hit a bit of a speed bump, pretty sure I know what the problem is but confirmation from someone that has restored stoners before would be great.
I've installed three off the gum merchandise chutes along with all of the linkages, I thought I would install the selector gear and check the operation of the gear assembly and that the gum is dispensed correctly.
The issue is when I select each one of the merchandise chutes the internal linkage does not clear the frame of the rack to allow the linkage to dispense the selected gum (As per photo 2).
Only one of the internal linkages clears the frame and allows the gum in that merchandise chutes to dispense correctly. (Photo 3).
I'm guessing that over time the selector cams wear and the horizontal gear assemblies don't slide far enough for the internal linkage to clear the frame.
When I disassembled the horizontal selector gear assemblies I noticed that the shaft that protrudes through the frame that connects the internal and external linkages were bent possibly to compensate for the worn selector cams.
(Photo 4).
Can anyone confirm that this is the case or am I missing something.
Cheers
John

Quick update for anyone else that has this problem, removed all of the merchandise chutes along with all of the linkages, found that the ejector drive arms were bent.
As merchandise chutes number 2 was working correctly I had a reference to bend the other 3 arms back into the correct shape.
Now waiting for zinc plating before continuing assembly.

Finally getting back to finishing this project, due to concerns with warping due to heat generated when grit/soda blasting I ended up having the cabinet chemically stripped of paint.
Very impressed with the result the bottom of the stand had rust pitting prior to stripping.
Hopefully in the next few weeks paint will be completed.
I've noticed on a few members restoration a sticker located inside the front door, any links to what is written would be appreciated.

Getting to the final assembly of the machine, really happy with the colour and paint job CANDY on sides are painted on not decals looks great.
A few questions for those that have restored before, the anti cheat bars on the pull knob assembly don't always slide easily preventing the pull knob from pulling completely out, are these normally lubricated if so what do you suggest.
My entire assembly was pretty dirty which I think may have been grease covered in dirt.
What other areas are normally lubricated.
All advice appreciated.

Looks great ! ! !
As far as the anti-cheat bars are concerned, I would lubricate with silicone spray using the straw tube tip to get lubricant where you need it and not everywhere else.
One issue to be wary of is the "stop" for the anti-cheat bars located on the far left at the last bar. If this machine had heavy use, this stop plate will wear allowing the cheat bars to return to the left position a little further than they should. When this happens, the rounded side of the anti-cheat bars do not line up properly for the pull knob slides and cause the knob to stop because the slanted side of the pull slide doesn't properly align with the rounded end of the anti-cheat bar allowing them to slide right/left blocking the other pull knob slides.
This is one of the many issues I check prior to disassembly, re-plating, powder-coating so ensure everything is functioning properly. If not, fixes or modifications can be performed prior to restoration!

Any advice on painting the candy marquee, attempt myself or signwriter.
Having trouble getting any sign writers to respond to such a small job.

Sign painter is the only way to go; just be sure you have a good painter!
You may have to take the marquee to them and leave it with them...

Sign writer should have marquee back to me next week sometime, restoration is coming to an end.
When removing the old mirror it looked as if there was either sponge or double sided tape top and both sides.
What is normally used when installing a new mirror (one of Jims).
I added very thin brass shims on either side protecting the paint when installing the vending rack.

We utilize felt pad stickers on the back of the mirror.
Try and locate the thin green version that are approx. 1/2" diameter.
