That will be one heck of a project, Joey.  Are you going to try and fix the main cabinet or do you have a Vendo 80 shell or something lined up?  By the way, how much did you pick that one up for?

I ended up trading a coin mech for it, I have a near complete 80 on the way but also working on getting a 81A front door so I may save the cabinet for that project. Im actually going to be shopping for a welder and attempt the project myself. Its actually not as bad as it looks.

Joey, good for you taking on the task of bringing that one back to life!!
Poor thing looks like it fell off a truck got hit by a car and ended up in a stream. You will have it looking brand new in no time. Please share some pics as it goes along.

I have a cav 51 that is pretty rusty around the bottom.  I have been thinking it was going to be too big of a job and I might just part it out.  In light of these pics, I will keep my near mint 51 to tinker with.

Good luck and I am anxious to see this one when it is done.

Man you'll do anything to get out of doing those diapers when the little guy gets here. '<img'>
But just a heads up you ain't gonna have time to touch that.... When the little woman
gets through with you it will have rusted away completely.
