Title: Vmc 27 Post by: cohammer on April 27, 2017, 09:53:19 pm Ok picked this up at auction . Looks like it tumbled down a hill , on the bright side it is complete and working . How hard would it be to get the front back to correct shape ? Would it be better to just leave it alone . Has green paint underneath what ever color That is . Any restoration advice appreciated.

(or kick it) until either the coin returned or a Coke came out. Pepsi made their machines out of steel so this damage wasn't as bad, but all Coke versions are aluminum and most are dented. Remove the door liner and you will find 90% of your dents can be reversed and just pushed out by hand.

Hope to find a stand for it .
