Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: wee on September 22, 2012, 08:35:38 pm I got it all back together....I have lightly cleaned the outside and may decide to take some buffing compound to it....? The inside is as clean as it was when it left the factory....Only a small amount of rust on the vending unit....Other than that it looks almost as good as new. Only tested it for about 30 minutes or so....It ran quite and dropped the temp to 38 deg....Outside temp was in the high 70's.....Humidity was about 75% outside and it dropped to 64%. Looks like I may have lucked out with this machine....I'll put it to the real test tomorrow....It will run and vend all day long.

Post by: wee on September 23, 2012, 04:21:52 pm It cools down to 30 deg on setting 5 about 32 on 4 and gets there in less 30 minutes...That's with an outside temp about 80. It cycles as it should and no strange noises. I have my shed wired with outlets but only have a 100 foot drop cord running to it for power....The plug never gets hot where I have it plugged into the house.
The humidity is high....Almost 80%....? I haven't put any cans in it yet while it's running and there are only a couple of places on the outside of the maching that feels cool to the touch. No condensation anywhere. The door seal looks good but I may try to adjust the door where it closes alittle tighter. I took some paint thinner to the paint splatters and they are coming off but it's gonna take awhile....The machine will stay in the shed till we get the kitchen repainted....We won't even start that till after first of the year. Thank everyone here for all the advice.... Brian Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: MoonDawg on September 23, 2012, 06:17:41 pm Nice job at reviving that machine, it looks great!
I have an insert which is still on a machine, that I can part with.......... but it has holes in it. P.M me if you are interested. Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: kbareit on September 23, 2012, 07:16:10 pm Nice job Brian, It looks great.
Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: wee on October 08, 2012, 03:58:00 pm I got the trim plate...Thanx Glen. I hope to get it put on tonight.
Brian Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: wee on October 09, 2012, 07:48:16 pm It took two nights to get it all back together....For more pics and the whole story see my blog...

Post by: briandr1 on October 09, 2012, 08:57:46 pm Thats a nice looking machine. You did a nice job.
Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: BONOVOX on October 09, 2012, 11:39:44 pm Nice work!
Glad to see that there is interest in the 80's! Enjoy!!!! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: MoonDawg on October 10, 2012, 08:00:18 am Looks so complete now, good job.
It's time to fill it with beer, and patiently wait for the next machine to show up in your driveway. :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: cola62 on October 10, 2012, 08:12:37 am Glad you decided to do a major clean up instead of a complete restoration. I think it looks great and still maintains that vintage look that you lose with a complete restore. Nice job.
Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: wee on October 10, 2012, 11:18:44 am Thank Ya'll for the complements....I need to order a lock/key combo and straighten the coin door out some...Other than that it's about done.
Free vend is setup on the return coin button and works well. I'm keeping my eye out for the next great bargin....I have less than $200 in the 80 as it sits. Prolly won't find another deal on a working machine that good but U never know. I may look at getting an old gumball machine to re-do next.....? Brian Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: scalebowler on October 10, 2012, 03:37:06 pm I really like those metal panels around the coin door. They look really nice
Title: Re: Vendo 80 before and after.... Post by: wee on October 13, 2012, 08:36:00 pm Got the key/lock ordered tonight and it's been running 24/7 since Thur. evening.... No problems so far and man the beer is COLD.
