Title: First Machine Post by: jgastonl on July 30, 2012, 12:48:21 pm Pictures of my first restoration. I finished it back in February. I added a light (string lights around bottle stack, thanks Creighton) and a switch to turn on or off. I converted the light above the bottle door to an LED. This light stays on 24/7 not exactly sure why. Its not shown in the pics though. That was done after the pics were taken.

Creighton Title: Re: First Machine Post by: jgastonl on August 01, 2012, 07:36:43 pm Thanks for the comments. I spray painted the shelves with hammertone paint. Compressor - I used a high heat flat black spray paint.
Does the light above the dispensing door always stay on? Mine does and its filled with coins. Title: Re: First Machine Post by: cohammer on August 01, 2012, 10:47:41 pm you will have to add a switch if you want it to be turned off and on as you please.

Title: Re: First Machine Post by: jgastonl on August 06, 2012, 10:45:52 am Very nice job, I've always liked the light up machines. This one wasn't a light up one...I added that feature. I cut out a square out of the metal sign, then I applied velcro to the plexi-sign. Then added a fluorescent light to the back. I think my next restoration will be a Victor gumball machine. Preferably one like this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1950s-Victor-Half-Cabinet-Coca-Cola-Coke-Themed-Gumball-Vending-Machine-/110929156447?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d3e4995f Any help in finding one is appreciated!
