I finally got a weekend that I could work on this machine.  Many thanks to MoonDawg and Refrescofan1 for supplying some missing parts.  I got a 56 ST glass door to replace the solid door; got a 56 can rack put itside and set on free vend, and completed the coin door and covered the crank handle outlet.  Not finished yet but I like the way it is coming along and used many of this machine's parts for a one day restoration of a Vendo 56 RT.

Are their any 7-up decals out there that look like the old green bottles with the lady on them? If so that would look nice on the sides of your machine.

that looks great. It is good to know that the square top bottle door does fit. Now that is what I need to find.

Josh,
Actually, the full glass 56 square top bottle door (without the little emblem / decal divider in the middle) does not fit in the transitional machine. Arggghhh... It was too long by 1/8 of an inch or so.  Anyway, I lined it up with my RT 56 solid bottle door and cut off the excess with a hacksaw on the bottom part of the door...surprisingly, it only took about 10 minutes to do.  I then used some JB Weld to get the metal cover on the new door.  It aint pretty and it isn't permanent but it works for now...I didn't need to cut the plexiglass or regular glass either.

Creighton,
I can't remember the exact prices but Refrescofan talked to some guy who had 2 square top 56s from 200-350 range each. I no longer want to get parts machine because I end up not parting it out but wanting to make it complete again...so I search for another parts machine...laugh
