Well one more piece to put on and its done. Coin mech is as is set on free vend. and I need the coin return cup as its been sent out for chrome. Here are some before pictures.





And the after....













Machine is painted in BC CC, all new stainless, powder coated insides, cooling unit is original and includes new wiring etc. Not bad for a $120.00 basement find.

Machine will be for sale soon. The powder coat is textured hammer tone gray. The decal is long gone  the heat gone got to it, The lid was bought by a fellow in Springfield, MO named Ben Smith I think it was around $100.00 I had to drill the holes for the hinges and handle.

Wow that looks incredible.  Did you replace or clean up the rounded chrome edge.
