Hi Guys, I'm new to the forums and to drink machines for that matter! I mainly collect pinball machines but thought I would try my hand at a drink machine. Just wanted to share some pics of my progress so far. The end is in sight!! Also want to say thanks to Janet and Rod for parts and ideas. And "Coke and Stuff" Joey for the nice cabinet as mine had a couple rusted out vents. Unfortunatly I am no good at posting pics so heres a link to my album. http://s373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/countdownpin/7up%20VMC%20110/ |

The bottle gate assemble was acid dipped (the Aluminum brighter). As was the other parts that were zinc,galvanized and cad plating. It's not super strong stuff. It won't eat your fingers off or nothing but you need to wear gloves and eye protection. You can find it at most auto parts stores. It will also eat rust. The bottle gate will get a black residue on it but that will just wire brush off . You just completing sumerge the part and keep an eye on it. Once the coating is gone rinse very well with water and dry. On the steel parts you will need to dry well very quickly or flash rust will appear. With fresh brighter the bottle gates assemble take 10 to 15 minutes. And the galvanized bottle shelfs take 20-30 minutes. You can put as many as you can get in whatever container you choose. I stripped them like this because I'm going to power coat it all. Its a shame becuase like you said it looks brand new but it is all just bare metal.

Wow, looks great...you got my attention with that cleaner. I wonder if a clear coat on the shelves would hold up ok in the machine, they look great when they come out. Great work!

Johnny,
Everything looks great!
I'm starting to break down my V-81 vending rack and I like the results of your dipped the parts! Can you supply the product name used to dip the parts...?
Thanks!

Yea I was was thinking the same thing. I'm going to do some research on clear powder coating bare metal. I'm afraid there may be adhesion problems. |
