Well, Actually..... I started restoring Mustangs about 8 years ago and I have nine of them now.  Imagine how many coke machines you can fit in the space a parts car takes up though.  I know all about the "nightmare" times too.  I love parts scrounging and anything that is old and has style.  I am in the correct place still right?  Anyone have some advice on getting the lens opened up to change the bulb?

side view, has a lot of scratches from being moved around all these years.  Anyone with the hint on how to open the lens and replace the bulbs?

Super nice, Matt!!  

I don't have my 102 anymore (it had a metal sign anyway), so I'm not sure how the 102 lens comes out.  It is usually pretty simple.  Lens is usually held in by a couple of pins.  Take out a few screws and work the lens out.  

I have a Coke magazine advert with your exact machine displayed.  I'll send you a color copy if you'd like.  PM me and let me know.

Oh Matt.  Glad you are interested and capable of restoring old soda machines ............but not this one!!!!   Yours is a nice original.  We will find you some machines that really NEED your time and attention

I would love a copy of the ad.  That would be a neat addition to the walls in my new garage.  Right behind the machine, and thank you in advance, that is really cool of you.  

I actually like the aged patina that the machine has.  I will touch it up in a few places and leave it alone then.  My daughter wins that argument- she said leave it alone, and put it in her bedroom because she could take better care of it than leaving it in the garage.  Maybe it will make it to the "game patio".  

I would like to find a new selector knob, mine is broken at the bottom.  The stainless trim on the sides could use a little help also.  I promise to leave it alone and just work on the mechanicals, make it work like it should.  

Thanks.
