Guys,
Here are a couple pics of my completed Vendolator 56 Beer machine. Told the wife I was going to sell it once complete, but now I'm kinda attached and think it would look nice in the basement. This was a pretty solid small Pepsi machine.
Many thanks to Brian for the wiring diagram, totally rewired and works like charm.

David - great job! Did you turn the entire machine around in less than a month, including the paint? Wow. I'd try to sell it. It would be interesting to see how well a logo'd machine sells for. Not sure but I'm guessing that it may drive more than a Pepsi (or even Coke). You might be able to finance two (or more) machines from the sale.
PS - glad I could help with the wiring diagrams.

Hello
The line set cover between the upper & lower compartments looks like it is filled with great stuff foam? That is a good idea.

Thanks for the compliments, overall the machine took about 2 months to complete. The silver paint on the inside is RustOleum Hammered silver, it works very nice. You can buy the paint just about anywhere, I picked it up at a surplus store in Northern Michigan for $1.50 a can not sure how old it is but you can't beat the price.
Now it's time to start my Glasco Coke Slider, and next I'll need to add an extension to the house.
Thanks,
David
