Title: Vendo h63 a
Post by: on July 06, 2004, 11:14:34 pm
I just purchased a vendo h63 a and plan on restoring it. Can anyone tell me what the best insulation for the cabinet would be? I would also like to powder coat the inside. Is there any special precautions to take? Will the holes in the shelf supports and vend mechanism become filled with the powder coat and not allow for easy adjustment? Can anyone tell me what the h or a stands for in the model number?

Yes, powder coating will Gunk up holes you may get away with it or just have to redrill "ream" out the holes. Why Powdercoating? is it just readly accessable to you? IS the Inside all that bad of shape? Insulation Just House insulation whatever "R" you can fit in the space without Compressing it, cause if you compress it a lot then the Insulation is kinda worthless.

Thanks for the info. I have seen some machines with the inside powder coated and I really liked how clean they looked. The galvanize inside my machine is in fair condition, just liked the smooth glossy finish of the powder coat. I was concerned it may feel the holes, and was afraid if i drilled them out after powder coating it would be a place for rust to start.

Well for the most part you would just be taking off the " excess" coating or you could try and Plug them before hand but then your PC might have a crazy edge or peel or something you might( crossing fingers" be able to just stove the Shelves etc back through the holes without a problem But rusting Isnt a HUGE problem since the Inside Shouldnt sweat and I assume that its lived its hardest time up till now and now your going to keep it inside/covered

If I dont powder coat the inside what is the best way to clean and brighten the galvanize?

Also, don't use insulation with any backing. You want just plain 'ole fiberglass.
