Josh hit's another one out of the park.

Well I started tearing the 56 apart a few days ago. I put a hold on the C55 project to do this one first. I know you all are going to be dissappointed but I have decided to restore this machine and sell it. I want to make the money to restore the VMC88 I just bought from Joey. I am also going to do this 56 in Coke. I know another boreing Coke machine but after the response I got on ebay with the C64 I am hoping that will happen again with this machine. One realy cool thing I noticed when tearing this machine apart. The braces inside the machine are all to a round top 56. Check it out. I have also never seen a more rust free cabnet.

Here are a few more pics. Check out the round top brace inside the front door. They must have had a bunch of left overs. I wonder if they came from vendo since Vendorlator never made a round top 56.

Well the 56 is comming along nicely. I put the tank liner in and used the cardboard trick that was mentioned here last year. Who was it that came up with the cardboard trick for getting tank liners into machines with new insulation? Well who ever it was thank you so much for figuring that one out that saves me so much time. The electrical was shot and I forgot to order a new wiring harness so I built my own. Check out my homemade junction block. At least it works. '>

Josh,  you had better strike while the iron is still
hot.   The way that one took off on ebay.
 You had better jump.

Hey Josh, the j box is new and the wiring looks clean. The machine is safe to operate. Buyer will be happy.
      The new wiring harnesses seem to cost quite a bit. $35.00  The square junction box on most machines can be drilled open and new wires can be soldered in place.  Or using a simple little terminal strip from Radio Shack can be very easy and inexpensive.

I agree Glen - $35 is a lot. I wish there was a more economical place to buy them. I have kind of searched around locally, but with no luck yet.

Josh - the cardboard post was mine... although I believe I re-invented something that the more experienced folks in the group already knew...  but too bad.  I don't get to take credit for too much here, so I'm grabbing this one.

Bryan, Thank you so much for posting that here a while back. That has saved me so much time. Getting this liner in would have been impossible without that. If I can just get the coin door to fit this is going to be a great machine.
