Title: And the award goes to.... Post by: red-hungarian on November 23, 2011, 11:53:34 pm The WD-10!!!!
What a great machine. I used it over the last two days to thaw a 22 lb turkey, 18 lbs of pork roasts, store 3 cases of beer and keep a 12X20 "Elmo" 1st birthday cake fresh for a party. Tomorrow I'll use it to store Thanksgiving feast leftovers. The wide dual sided lids make this the ideal gameroom workhorse. And it looks great! Title: Re: And the award goes to....

Happy Thanksgiving... Title: Re: And the award goes to.... Post by: rayg on November 26, 2011, 11:47:25 pm Nice cooler and game room! What about that bowling machine in the picture, what's make and model?

Title: Re: And the award goes to.... Post by: red-hungarian on December 02, 2011, 08:58:15 am The tub gasket is now available via SJW. I have one coming. I'm really torn about restoring it. It works flawlessly and presents very well but it sure would look nice when done. I'm collecting all the parts I need so when I do pull the trigger I can minimize the downtime. Ideally I'll find another to restore for a reasonable price first.Title: Re: And the award goes to.... Post by: Slapshot42 on December 02, 2011, 10:43:30 am If you open your back service cover for your compressor is your drain tube still intact?
I need to make a drain tube. The tube comes straight down which is 1/2 inch copper and curves. It almost looks like the pre made drain tubes for the upright machines; ( Vendo 44, 56, 110). The most down time I hade was the machine waiting to be blasted which was 3 months. If you have all your parts you could do it in less than a month. If you want my photo album of the restoration let me know.... Jared Title: Re: And the award goes to.... Post by: red-hungarian on December 02, 2011, 10:45:51 am If you open your back service cover for your compressor is your drain tube still intact? Yes, as I recall it's a "S" shaped copper tube leading to the pan. Sure, love to see the album. Post it or pm me if you will. ThanksI need to make a drain tube.
