Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has seen a hinge like this? It appears to have a weld connecting the hinge to the door and if I took the screw out to remove the hinge, the hinge would still be attached to the door due to weld being still in tact. Bottom of hinge only, the top appears to be free of any welds.

That's not a weld, it's putty that has been painted over.

Thanks MoonDawg - Do you think this is this a previously restored machine based on this?

  I don't know if your machine has been restored but it has been re-painted.  Vendo wouldn't have painted over the screws and the putty.
