OK, this is where I am at with this machine. I have drilled all 3 locks (including the coin box). I have removed all the chrome trim pieces and the mirror. I have removed the coin mechanism. I removed the whole vending apparatus from the cabinet (yes it was heavy). I sprayed the vending apparatus with a cleaner/degreaser and hosed it down. Cleaned up very well. I am going to try and find an auto painter to paint it for me. For the life of me, I can not get the machine to vend. I have tried the suggestions, but I must be dense. Could someone give me step by step directions. The 2 lever/apparatuses at the bottom move freely when I move them. I have not put the coin mechanism back in yet. All the "flaps" are in the up position, but no matter how I move those 2 levers, I can not get a handle to pull.
