Thanks so much for the positive feedback, Nate.  No - I wish I had that skill - it seems like a great hobby - very rewarding, not to mention profitable.  A guy in Cleveland (Carl Coates) did the work.  He basically tore everything out, sand-blasted, painted and put it all back in.  I didn;t realize how heavy these things really are - it took 4 guys to carry it down the steps into the basement!!

I find myself going down there and sitting there, just looking at it . . . transfixed - hehe.  I guess there really is something about the way these round corners were designed - it is simply a spectacular "look".  And I don't think it is the "Coca-Cola" aura that makes it appealing - it's just an excellent color combo and a superb design.

Agreed, the colors, shape and look are amazing. I managed to get mine into the family room! upstairs! next to the TV. Of course I started with a Vendo 23 and then just expanded to a bigger machine  :)

Looks good!
You do have all the shelves too...?
If so, have they been re-plated to look as good as the rest of the interior?

Yes, all the shalves are intact and plated.  All the long springs are working perfectly as well, including the pulleys.
