I totally dig that road sign, I would take that as an omen! The machine looks ok though, just needs some TLC. When it comes to not "being able to control myself", I get caught up in that predicament all of the time! I go out into the garage with the door shut and don't wear a watch.........And before you know it...Well, you know the rest!! '>

Here is the extra electrical for converting the metal sign to a much more favorable lighted one:

And here is the hole that goes from behind the coin door to behind the sign, for running electrical wires. I am so glad that I can make it a lighted sign:

Well that's it for pics now. But I will keep updating. I also need to get a new lock.

Oh, and I plugged it in for just a second and it seems to cool immediately. I did do a test vend of one of my Mexican Coke bottles and I had to pull very hard. Ideally, should it pull out easily? Or is it a hard tug regardless? I haven't used one of these machines since I was a little kid, so I don't remember.
I assume I have to lubricate all of the bottle rack's moving parts. What lube do you all use? Also, should I find some food safe oil (like for food concession parts) so that if any rubs off on the bottles it will be no biggie for my guests?
Thanks.

When I drove past the sign, I couldn't believe my eyes and then drove backward to it to take a pic of it because I knew that you all would get a kick out of it.
Here's another picture of the sign:

Hi Kito, you said the machine will be painted by Maaco. I asked around and searched the Internet. It seems to be that nobody is really lucky with the Maaco paint jobs. Does anyone have experiences with Maaco? I know they are really inexpensive but are their paintjobs really good? I dont know. '> Lars

loman4ec or somebody (sorry I don't recall who) here gave me the idea for Maaco. What did you hear was bad? Anybody here have a better suggestion?
