Title: First time restore on a "Coke Machine" Post by: twotoedsloth on March 08, 2008, 05:36:53 pm This is the way the machine looked when I bought it and how it looks now. It's an Ideal 110. I have been looking for a decent Vendo (still am) and found this one to "practice" on. Thanks to everyone that helped answer some questions on this machine.

Title: Re: First time restore on a "Coke Machine" Post by: twotoedsloth on March 08, 2008, 10:13:56 pm It took about 16 hours to complete over 3 weeks. Luckly, I had access to the needed tools and equipment.

Two questions: Can I use the photo for inclusion in our Soda Machines Section (http://soda-machines.com/content/section/3/14/)...? And secondly, can you provide accurate dimension measurements for this model...? Thanks!
