Vendo Milk Machines Finished

[Funtronics]

Well after a lot of work and **** I finally finished the milk machines. The roughest one is the one I got from Josh a few years back and the other one I also picked up a few years back. These were a real challange to do, as there are no parts made for these and everything has to be reused or made. The wiring on these are a real challange also. I had a friend help me with the wiring. I hope these are the only two I ever have to restore of these. I would not recommend these for an average restorer. They both turned out really nice and are in full working order.

Compliments on a job well done ! ! !

I have to ask though...  Why are they two different colors...?

[Funtronics]

Different customers. One wanted his machine to match his vintage milk truck.

       Well they look great now, you make it look easy!       

       Thanks for the tip..and since I probably will never be restoring one of these I can only ask:
            Are there 4 vend motors?
            Was wiring difficult because they were only white?
            Were those selector buttons difficult to get lined back up?
            Since replacement door liners are not made, were those made of a material that does not crack around the screw holes like the Vendo 80 / 81?

No vend motors. It has 6 vend solenoids and 10 micro switches.
The wiring is difficult because all wires are all white and lots of wires going to a lot of switches.
The selector buttons were easy to line up.
Had to flip the door liner over and fiberglass the back and edges to strengthen them and then sand and paint.
