By the louvers I would say it is a VMC 81 transitional? If it is that is going to be killer!!!!!

Looks nice, based on the door opening I'd guess it's some type of Lacrosse machine.

Good looking machine. You know that the trim all the way around the outside is anodized aluminum. It can be polished and it looks great! That is what I did on my 7up selectivend that had the same molding. Is that what you are chroming? Are you going to keep the silver front on it or are you going to paint it? I have always wanted to see one of these painted.

Pat,

    Hey Brian, Yes it was the first time that I used Nashville Plating and it turned out really
nice Ron Satterfield did a great job I was in contact with him a few time to go over a few thing ( I did not glass bead the lettering and Ron did that for me) He is a great guy to talk to
and he will be doing my next project here real soon .

Now I just have to get the art work for it and put the rack in and wire it up
then it will be ready for ?

  There will be more to come and a sneak look  :oh:

It's even better looking in person! Pat & I just got it completely rewired this afternoon from top to bottom, after the Fowlerville Gas & Petrolium show.

A BIG THANKS TO JOHNIEG  :biggrin: for helping me out on the wiring and getting that rack in the cabinet with out scrapping it up, and for showing a short cut on the wiring, it would have taken me a lot longer .

 So what left is the art work and the little detail things , Then some more pictures.

 And just a note I will be posting pictures of the Fowlerville Gas & Petrolium show later on Monday and John may do the same :smile:
