OK, picked up the machine today, where to begin...Has minimal rust, needs lots of cleaning, recharging and need to fix a hinge or two.
It's on 6 casters. It's not much, but will be the last one I buy for a while.
First question how do I fix the hing?

Very nice!! Guessing it will take some new metal to get the hinges solid again. A pic of the hinge backside will help if possible. Great score.

Seeing that... I'd say a new piece of metal spliced in but it depends on how bad it is up to the embossed letters....
May need to watch for lids on ebay and restore the rest and leave the lids for last. I have seen lids pop up from
time to time. and you could get lucky.
Give us the model number and dimensions of the lids we can all keep a look out for you. There was a cap catcher just last week on ebay. you're gonna need 2.

I like it. I like it a lot. If you can't tell, I was impersonating Forrest Gump.  That looks really nice, congratulations.

Yep, that 's an idea.
My plans are to use it during the summer months, cookouts, Christmas and Thanksgiving. |
