Hello & welcome to the site trebob, Nice machine!to help remove the lamp from it's socket, you'll get a much better grip with a pair of rubber gloves, as you found out, they don't leave you much room to get your fingers in there!

Maybe you could grip the bulb on the metal end with a pair of needle nose pliers?

You gonna go with the Mint Green and white/cream color combo on this?
I think sodaworks sells a decal set for DP. Nice looking machine.
The shelf looks like new with the paint job.
Welcome to the club... Stick around and let us see how she turns out!

Actually I thought hard about that over the holiday weekend..  I've decided on the mint green colour on the sides/top and stay with bright white on front and back..

I also saw a pic with the decals I think I'd like, the DP bottle in hand and the "friendly pepper upper" quote..  Something like a combination of these two pics I surfed up:






What'cha tink?

Back to the water fountain.  I took one off a Vendo 144, shined it up with a copper wheel on my bench grinder and sold it on e-bay for $37.  Not bad for something I had considered just tossing out the door! ':p'
