Thank you for the replies! Yes, the liner is cracked near the gasket, and the gasket hardened. Who can I get the best quality parts from? This machine is such a nice original, I hesitate to replace anything. I want to make sure I can get the stickers etc. for the liner, even though I like the aged, original look of the originals. But, I sure want that light on!  Any further information would be much appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

Soda Jerk Works carries both the gasket and the door liner. You can find thier site by clicking on the advertisement banner at the bottom or top of your screen. Fun-Tronics also carries both parts.

I'm going to miss Home Arcade, I used to buy the door liners there while at the Chicago show, saved me a lot of money since shipping was so much for oversized packages.  But I guess that's the way it goes.

Harrison,

I agree, that does stink. It's always nice to have something relatively local or at least on the way home from a place that you frequent.

 I was thinking that maybe sometime we should swing over to the new Fun-tronics location in Illinois once they get established and settled in. I just took a look at a map and it looks like it's only about 120 miles west of us.

Does anyone make a metal door liner for the Vendo 81? I know it wouldn't be original, but I only want to replace this kind of item once.

I would imagine that if you called Janet at Fun-Tronics before the show, they would bring them to the show for you (if they are going?)

Price sounds good...I have to decide if I am going to tear into this or not. I should have an answer in the next couple of days. Thanks, again.

        I bought out a guy who retired from restorations. Before replacement door
liners were ever reproduced in plastic, he found a sheet metal shop to make him
a bunch of these. This was the only one he had left.
