Outstanding work!  drinking You need to do a side by side before/after post when it is complete!  Hard to believe that it is the same machine!

Eric,
Looks great!
I gotta try that masking sometime.. can you take some closeups of that and email to me? I'll try to post them larger for you on the site for all to see!

Excellent work!

Thanks... It's all due to friends....
Nick and Rick for all their hard work... welding, grinding, priming and painting
to Brian for loaning me his original cap catcher so it would be exact like the original
to the Fab shop making the catcher... All I did was buy it and make the lettering masking..
I really gotta brag on Rick... I would put this up to any restoration out there...
It was funny to see the guys at the shop work on this...definantly the first soda machine/cooler
ever worked on in that shop....
thanks guys! happydrinkers

My hats off to you on this restoration as this is definitely bringing something back from the scrap pile ! ! !
I hope this makes it into one of the calendars; if not this year, perhaps a few nice photos in the following year...

My six cents,
