AMAZING

Wow...those look sweet Jim!

Just sharing a couple of recent restoration projects.
One on the left is a Appleton Corporation Candy Vendor; the other is a three selection Cigar-O-Mat
.

I thought the same about the mirroring of the regular sign vinyl so I googled some translucent vinyl and ordered it.  I also thought regular opaque vinyl would maybe look weird when backlit on the machine. The original sign allows light through.  I cant tell if they used decals or screen printing or what they did on the original signs.   We’ll see how this turns out after I put a sign together and I’ll post pics if it works out.

After this little project Im gonna start refurbishing the internals and cooling system.  It all works but it needs some tlc.  If I run into more issues I’ll post again in another area.  Thanks!

Hello Justin,

The only problem I foresee is your cricut vinyl does not come in a "reverse apply" form, meaning, you apply the decal/vinyl to the back of the plexiglass. A work around may be to utilize two 1/8" thickness pieces of plexiglass and apply to the front of one and sandwich the artwork between the two...
I do not have a service manual for this model to offer you.

Good luck on the project!
Jim

Fixing up a Westinghouse WB-60 that has a broken sign.  I was going to try to make another insert on my own with some plexiglass and translucent sign vinyl using my Cricut vinyl machine.  Has any tried using sign vinyl to recreate one of these back lit signs?

Also does anyone have a service manual for the wb-60 or other similar select o matic westinghouse machines?

While I'm not very knowledgeable on later models such as yours, are there any adjustment bolts/screws on the hinges that may allow for the bottom to be slightly pulled outward in the hopes of minimizing the gap along the upper right...  Slightly unorthodox would be to place a small piece of 2x4 at the lower right corner, slowly close the cabinet door until it meets the 2x4 and then push hard along the upper right corner where the gap is with the intent to warp/bend/twist the cabinet door thus reducing the gap...
Hopefully helpful...

I recently picked up a Cavalier USS-8-64.  It appears to be in really good shape except that the front door doesn't seem to be straight, and when I close and lock the cabinet, there is an uneven gap between the door and the tub which is widest at the top corner.   I can hear the fan inside through the gap, but when I press my hand on the top corner it goes quiet.  The door seal looks good, and I have adjusted the lock plate as far in as it will go.  What would be my next step here?   It doesn't appear to have any visible damage to the door or sides, is the door bent or is there another adjustment that I can make to tighten this thing up? 

Unfortunately, I do not have this in PDF format, yet...  I do not know where my original manual has been stored which means it would be some time before I can get it scanned into a PDF...
 

Thanks Jim
