Title: My Vendo Update
Post by: kahonwes on September 11, 2006, 10:35:31 pm
Well so far the painter has the main door and coin door painted and is hold them hostage till I give him the rest of the machine and finish surgery on it.

I blasted the entire machine, welded the bottom seem on the machine to the bottom plate, it was fraying out due to rust so I cut it off and melted it together and made it look like one piece of metal.

I welded one patch in and tried to spot weld a tiny pin hole, it appears the metal was eat to much it made the hole bigger.  I'm going to solder the rest of them shut but if I dont have enough time I might fiber glass them

Not to mention I need to find a thicker piece of sheet metal for the bottom inside of the machine, I dont have any of camparable guage...  I really dont want to buy a entire 4x8 sheet for one 44 machine.

I all the parts from Funtronics(they rock lol)

And I will take more pics of my welding job and what not and add them to this post tommorow... Its late

k - thanks
