So far the only thing that doesn't workis the sign. I bought some bulbs for the bottle door and "correct change only" sign. They work just fine now. I'm guessing that the ballast is bad for the sign.
But I do have one silly question for somebody. What the #### type of screws are those in the back of the main door? They have a weird head on them. I don't have anything that will take them out. Can somebody help a brotha out please??  '<img'>

Tim - assuming the screws kind of look like an hour glass they are called clutch driver screws.  You can find the bits at Ace hardware and I've also heard the Sears carries them.

Yeah, that's what they kinda look like. I'm off to Ace tomorrow.

And yes I am hooked now. Heck, I've been looking for a machine for 2 years now. I gotta make up for lost time!!   '<img'>    ':drinkers:'

Tim,
 Napa auto parts also sells the clutch head drivers. I like your epoxy flooring does it hold up well against wear and tear?

oooh NAPA is even closer than Ace. As for the floor coating, I'm not that thrilled with it really. It's that U-Coat it kit stuff. It was pretty nice for the 1st year but now it's starting to peel up in quite a few places. I may have to have it professionally redone this summer. Which will be a major PITA.  '<img'>  If I had it to do over again, I'd just paid the pro's to do it and be done with the whole deal.
Thanks for the compliments guys.  ':drinkers:'

Upon further review, I have discovered that the starter for the ballast is not there. There is a socket for it but no starter. The ballast looks kinda nasty too.  I looked at Grainger's online catalog. They have a cross referenced ballast (item # 6V834) and it shows that I need a FS-5 starter. I'm gonna check at Lowes tomorrow nite to see what thye have in stock ballast wise.  '<img'>

Tim,
Glad to know that about the U COAT IT.  I am planning our new garage and was looking at U COAT IT.  In my current garage and workshop I got the epoxy from one of the race shops and really do like it...but it does not "shine" so I was looking for something else.  It has held up for about 5 years and never cracked, peeled or chipped anywhere. I will try to post a pic in the other thread about our work areas.
