Title: Cavalier Square Corner CS-96E Glass for door and gaskets Post by: malkart on September 25, 2008, 08:03:38 pm I just purchased a square corner Cavalier CS-96E coke machine. I am in need of door glass and the associated gaskets and also am looking for the springs for the door that has the glass on it. Does anyone have a source for either, or have any suggestions?
Thank you. Title: Re: Cavalier Square Corner CS-96E Glass for door and gaskets Post by: collecture on September 25, 2008, 11:09:26 pm two sources to try -

It's not pretty, but it's functional and I have been happy with the results. Use some WD40 while drilling to cool/lubricate the glass.
Since the hole is at the bottom of the door, no one will ever see it. I've never done it, but I think that it wouldn't be that hard to get the gaskets made either. There's a lot of different foam materials that you can add some double sided tape to get a good seal. Just my thoughts, I'm no expert.
