Thanks Guys... it's finds like these that just keep this addiction... I mean hobby alive.. I just spent a few hours digging into the Mills, took the plates off that where blocking the two holes on top, I'm guessing that is where the coins where fed into a coin mech? sure would love to see a close up photo if anyone has one. It's missing the coin mech and internal rack assembly and probably will never find a replacement. But I'll probably clean it up, repaint the front area that is suppose to be metal color? maybe hammertone it as it looks like that was original kind of like the original stoner candy machine paint. Got the door to shut after drillig locks out and it even cooled when I plugged it in carefully as it needs a new cord.
one other thing since I'm rambling on an on.... I took a closer look at the slider and you can see some spots of layered paint and where it was rubbed off.. it original was the dark Blue Pepsi color, then it was painted Coke red at some point then Repainted the Light blue Pepsi color and has a decal actually pasted over the original embossed logo.. very strange as the decal and the embossing don't quite exactly line up... I wil strip it and do it properly this time however.. thanks for reading...I'm just having fun! '>

Great thanks for the link to the photos Josh... it's actually a pretty cool looking machine restored...What do think the 3 color wheel or button is for on the left side? I'm assuming it's a single drink vendor, even thought it looks like seperate racks on the inside?
I got anxious and drilled out one lock last night to get the door to close, then I get in the office this morning and the guy I got the machines from came in and he had the ORIGINAL KEY for the machine!!!  '>
I still can use it as I didn't drill out the coin door lock...
