Well I finally finished my first machine. A Westinghouse 102. It cost quite a bit more to do than I thought but it was a lot of fun to do anyways. It is a total newbie refurb but I'm still pretty happy with it.

And a big shout out to ken Barrett for the new vend motor he made for me, the thing works great.  Long live the westy's!!!!

And everyone else that answered my newbie questions.

Well done! From what I can see it looks very nice. We all would like to see more pictures of the finished project.

Here's one more.

If anybody would like the authentic wood panels I took off let me know. I bet I will make you a good deal. Lol!

It does look much better without the wood grain. Good job!

Looks very good. There is a similar one for sale in my area. Might have to get it seeing its potential without the paneling. Congrats
