V-63 vend door seal wanted

[Paul M.]

The door seal for my vend door has become hardened.  So I'm looking for a replacement that is in good shape.  Anyone have a parts machine that has a good one?  What do you want for it?

Shouldn't this be in the "Post 60's" forum?

Paul,
  Contact funtronics or the Sodajerk works they will have the gasket material you need. Terry

Markito,
I thought about that.  But I don't seem to get very much response in that forum.  And I also thought most folks who frequent this site probably have the "New Posts" link set as a favorite like I do so it probably didn't matter anyway.  But I'll try to put my posts in their proper place next time.

Terry,
Thanks, I'll do that.  I did look at Soda Jerk's website but all they had was stuff they sell by the foot for the V-63.  Is Funtronics' the same product?

Paul,
  Yes the gasket material is sold by the foot. It is not offered yet as a one piece vulcanized gasket. It is really easy to put one together. Just cut the gasket ends at a 45 degree angle and super glue the corners together to form a 90 degree angle. I recently did this for a 56 and it turned out really nice. Here's a tip for you, I cut some approx. 6" squares from sheet metal that I inserted into the corners to keep the gasket properly aligned, you can also use tape to hold the gasket to the sheet metal. I glued two pieces together at a time and the next day I joined the two sections together. This worked good for me. I hope this helps. Terry  '>
