Title: Need Glasco Slider Restoration Help Post by: twold on November 20, 2010, 10:36:03 am Just getting into restoring my first machine so be gentile. I want to totally redo this machine. I have got some questions.
1. Stripping down to the shell so I can get it repainted. I want to pull the liner/cooling unit. Any advise or cautions? I don't want to damage the coils or refrigerationn assembly in any way while getting to the insulation and bare shell. How does it come out? 2. Should I paint, Powdercoat or re-Zinc the slider assembly? 3.The unit is pretty much rust free except the side door on the botom. Anybody know where I can get a replacement? 4. What do you do to the tub/liner in a restoration on this unit? Paint or something else? Anyone that has restored these units - Please let me know what to watch out for or what you might have done differently. Thanks in advance to everyone for your help.
