(Corning NY) also....how do you remove the piece on the end of the crank so you can get off the inner door skin? Title: Re: my v39 Post by: RC kid on November 01, 2010, 08:22:17 pm Excellent find. You don't find em that cheap too often anymore.
Congrats! Title: Re: my v39 Post by: VMAXMAN on November 01, 2010, 08:26:16 pm thank you RC....as I start getting the restore underway (around tax time I'd imagine) I'll post progress pics....thinking of doing the top part white (think they look cool)

so....anyone know how you remove the piece on the end of the crank so you can get off the inner door skin? Title: Re: my v39 Post by: collecture on November 01, 2010, 10:09:07 pm ....anyone know how you remove the piece on the end of the crank so you can get off the inner door skin? Grip it with vice grips and twist/pull as you hammer the other end. Be cautious not to distort the hole in the liner. Title: Re: my v39 Post by: loman4ec on November 01, 2010, 10:16:23 pm Great score on the machine! I love the V39's. We had a near perfect early original V39 one in our kitchen as I was growing up so I have a soft spot for 39's. The back of that cabinet looks pretty rough. Since you got it so cheap it may be smarter and a lot easier to get a replacement cabinet. There may be a member near you with a spare. You never know. Also gutted V39's show up on ebay quite often. You could find a stripped 39 that is close to you on ebay and just transplant your parts. Just a thought. I have seen several gutted 39's sell pretty cheap recently.

I would assume you remove the crank handle before you hammer....lolIt would be really cool to find a shell around here to put my parts into. If not....my boss said he'd help me with what he can to replace the back |
