Hey Josh I have the Dr Pepper 56 coming from arkadelphia. my buddy will hopefully pick it up in the next day or two for me and bring it this weekend. You are already coming this way soon so maybe we can work out a deal. i'll cut you a good one. He is also bringing a fairly nice Westinghouse standard cabinet with him. If you have interest in that.

Josh I may have a Front name plate (Where Light Up Would be) for your 55. Give me the dimensions of it. I might have a 1/2 way decent coint bezel for it also. Email me at neoncoke@aol.com if you need it.

One thing though. If I were you I would buy a cheep gun for hammertone use only. Although I have never done it myself I have heard that it can be really hard to clean and can destroy a good paint gun. I bought a cheep touchup gun on ebay just for this reason. I think I paid like $15 or $20 for it.

Personally, I've had no problems cleaning it.  I will tell you that you should get a gun with a nozzle for primer and heavy paints (>= 2.0mm) so the gun doesn't clog when you use it.  A metal canister is also a must given the caustic nature of thiners and hardners.  I bought this gun on ebay.  Haven't used it for anything but hammerite so far, it's worked real well.

Does he have access to other brands would be nice to have for other coolers to restore. I have some logos just don't have them burnt to CDs cause I don't know what format to save them as.... I built them in Adobe Freehand.... Maybe I could contact him or is that Curtis that's posting here?

There was a thread several months ago that suggested we would set up a separate forum or even a repository for images we were willing to share or sources where we could buy.  This would be a great resource.  Coke logos are easy to find but all the others are non-existent or unknown.

Hammertone cleans up good with either laquer thinner or reducer. You shouldn't have an issue with ruinning your gun if you dis-assemble the needle valve assembly and use a gun cleaner kit. (various brushes) I use three different guns.
2.0 for hammertone and poly epoxy primer.
1.5 for single stage paint.
1.3 for base coat/clear coat. These work really well for me. '>

I went today and plugged the machines in today. believe it or not they both cool great!! I figured the 64 would but the 55 started right up and worked. It won't vend though. I hooked up a coin changer and gave it some change and it just buzzed and the vend levers didn't move.
