Ok, rust and all, this is what I need to correct first .
I took off all the liners and most of the gaskets. Found lots of rust.
How should I proceed? Started sanding the rust down to smooth surface.
I once had a can of rust converter that sprayed on clear and turned black when rust was neutralized. Cant find it anywhere nor can I find it at Lowes. They have a spray paint that says it prevents rust but it goes on black.
I believe I'll just paint the 2 lids red again and just clean, repaint the lettering and wax the machine body.
Any input would be great guys.

I have bought the rust inhibitor at ace hardware. I have found that lowes spray paint selection is limiting.

At Menards I bought some in a (non-spray) can from RustOleum. It ended up black and seems to be working pretty well on the spots I put it on my older truck.

My neighbor came over and looked at my Cavalier, asked me why dont I go ahead and waterproof it, take out the cooling system, and make it an ice chest type cooler. Place in a spigot for draining.
Use the cooling unit compartment as storage for the beverages.
Hadnt thought of that. Really dont know if i could do that to it or not. And wouldnt know where to begin.
I never plan on selling it I'm going to use it for mostly the summers and cookouts/holidays. (I know... never say never).

I thought I posted a reply to the ebay auction, wonder where it went.
I know I hit quick post.
Anyway Josh those wont work, please keep looking I'd like to have
replacements if possible.
Maybe this machine is going to be a learning experience for me.
Then I can post progress pics for the message board.

do you realize how many bags of Ice you'd need?  , besides the neat thing about a dry type cooler is that you can put anything into it 7 not worry about getting it soaked, salad, & you can always install a beer-tap & make a kegger out of it too (that should make 'yer hubby happy,if he's a beer drinker that is!) |

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

I;ll keep it as is, just have the cooling system recharged or upgraded.
I'm pleased with this machine. cant wait to have it up and
running minus the rusted places that need attending.
Hubby's not much of a drinker, now my brother-in-laws
thats a different story! '>
