Title: Vendo 56 parts needed
Post by: Jimbo on April 09, 2012, 11:50:07 am
The original owner turned this into a refrigerator.  I need 5 shelf brackets, 5 shelves, and a decent original coin door (I want to keep the original paint on it)
Thank you

Hey Jimbo
Welcome to the 56 club  :happydrinkers:
Although nothing is impossible, it might be a while before the 56 shelves spring up, let alone a door.  Things do come up from time to time, but the 56 is a bit of a harder machine to come by, and its just the luck of the day as to what pops up here or Ebay etc....

BUT good luck, and it would be nice to bring that machine back to its glory!!

it's going to be tough to find a coin door that will look correct , if your looking to keep the paint original... everything fades, and ages differently so will be hard to match..

A second welcome to the 56 club!! I was writing you a reply that just disappeared when it went to a second page. Sorry not going to retype but the crux was maybe a stack out of a square top would work till you can find the real deal.
Hope the parts machine works out and keep us posted of progress.
Thanks!
Creighton

The 56 is a great machine.  Stick with the parts hunt and you will be thrilled with the final result.  Good Luck!!

Found the shelf brackets (thanks to Bireleys1).  Thanks for the welcome into the 56 club.  Do I have to pay membership dues?

I had a question regarding these 56s.  Will the parts from a flat top 56 (or 63) fit these cabinets?  I know there would need to be some modificantions, but could they be made to work?

I had a chance to grab a gutted cabinet a few years ago & passed because of all the missing parts & pieces.

Obviously this would become an electric vending machine :upside:.
