Title: Westinghouse DU-144
Post by: kg4mon on April 15, 2010, 07:33:13 am
     Just a note to say the machine restoration is coming along very nicely and thanks for everyones help.  I have one more question.  :hopefull: My machine is missing the main door handle assembly.  :darn:   I know I'll never find the parts to fix it back original.  I was thinking of maybe changing it over to a vendo 6 case style with the keyed (latch).  Does anyone know if this is possible?  I would like to see some up close pics of the vendo latch and the inside catch.  From what pictures I have seen on the internet the Du-144 has a handle similiar to a garage door handle.  The inside catch is just a little bar/ loop that catches a leg off of the handle shaft.  I may try to post a pic.  Any thoughts on how to modify this?
