Well it is done. The cooling system didn't work so I replaced it with a spare I had. It works great now. It goes on ebay tonight.

Real nice job Josh... looks like you've really taken to painting. Do you just spray inside the shop? Anything special to keep the rest of the room (and stuff in it) from getting painted?

Josh (or anybody here really) just looking at this restoration...
It made me remember a story in Club Soda of a guy who opened a little shop to restore
machines..... then he got the idea to put a float in the town parade.... he put machines
and coolers he had restored on the float along with his name and number.... got a ton of
replies and customers. Has anyone else ever done this?....
Might be a good way to drum up some business and scarce machines sitting around the town.

Thanks everyone. I can't take too much credit for this one since I only did some of the work. The inside is painted with a hammer tone like paint made by sherwin williams. I bought it already painted. I am spraying paint inside the shop. I just cover everything and wet the floor to help cut down on dust. I also bought an good HVLP paint gun. It only needs 8 to 10 psi. Since their is so little pressure there is very little overspray. It works great. I also have a small touch up gun that isn't HVLP. You can really tell the difference. The machine will run later and I will post a link.

Josh........you turned out a nice product! Since you are in Memphis, I think you could do MUCH better $$$ than e-bay.
I have never been to Graceland, but know there must be dozens of shops offering 1960's trivia to tourist's who visit Elvis's estate.
Your machine could be on consignment to one of those stores, and/or vending at a profit. Their customers are drawn to 1960's nostalgia.... and they are your target market!
Approach a manager with your plan.......if this one makes him $$$, he'll probably do a lot more buisness with you.....
One more thing, a customer who drops his money in your machine, and gets an ice-cold soda ..............will pay much more for it, than the guy 2000 miles away who is trusting you that it that it works and then asks you to ship it.
