Thanks for sharing your absolutely amazing talents with us Jim! Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and 2024 treats you well!

Eric,  Hammerite was discontinued in the U.S. a few years ago, thus the nicer colors have been scooped up and difficult to locate!  Rustoleum is slowing bringing more of their original colors but not as nice as the Hammerite colors.

Thanks JohnieG.  That is what I suspected.   And I appreciate your guidance. I wonder how long it was used with the motor/fan spinning the wrong direction?  The good news is that is still seems to cool really well. 

Thanks again for the help. I am sure there will be more questions in the future.

if you're still needing handle can you post pics of the lids? wanting to see what type you're needing.

Great work as always... I have notice Hammertone paint has dropped a lot of the classic colors.. all I find is silver, copper, bronze colors the blues and greens are gone sucks! wonder if they'll come back?

As aways Jim Top Noch craftsmanship ! Can’t wait to see it back together

Looks great Jim!

Merry Christmas!

Hello All,

Just sharing a little progress on my Stoner Candy Vendor...

It should pull air through the evaporator first, then up the back & over the bottles/cans... Basically bottom to top.
 So In your case, yes it's backwards ( wrong rotation) if you are still using the original fan-blade with a reversed rotation motor, it will have poor air circulation, because the reversed blade spin will just "bat" the air around & not really circulate it from the bottom to the top

I have been working on getting the machine all up and running and wanted to ask about the evaporator fan airflow direction.   The set up that came in it blows air down through the round horizontal evaporator with the cold air directed at the bottom of the machine.   I thought it was supposed to draw air up through the evaporator and blow it up to the top of the machine.   Do you all think it has the incorrect motor rotation?
