Title: V56 panel needed or idea on fabricating something
Post by: rugrunner on August 29, 2009, 10:02:22 am
I don't really know what to call the part I need but it is the smaller aluminum panel above the of the door.

I removed the thin aluminum from the bottom to reveal the door underneath but on the top there is nothing underneath
and the panel is dented and has four holes in it.

I am looking for a new one, something else that fills that space from a different model, or an idea about making something
that will look ok until I find the piece I need. This is the machine I am making into a Guinness machine for my garage so it
doesn't have to be accurate.

Thanks, Bill

Are you looking for a new sign or a new door ? I have a nice coin door but its for a manual crank .

I'm looking to replace the panel above the door where the pepsi sign was.

Bill,

Rather than replace the metal, have you thought about adding a light?  For the same model machine I made a sign using a picture frame and then added a light behind it.

Thanks-David

I have done the same thing. Just go get a small fluorescent light from the hardware store and wire it up. It looks great!

To be honest I'd rather do that  then replace it as I'm sure that piece won't be easy to find.

never thought of a light, great idea. All I came up with is covering it somehow.

Thanks!
