I count this as my third greatest achievement.  1) Found a girl who I coerced into marriage. 2) met Willie Nelson 3) have a 1960's Coke machine filled with ice cold beer in my garage.  

All I really did was clean it, paint the inside, and replaced the wiring and fans.  It's not perfect, but it has a nice patina.  Did I mention it keeps my beer cold.

Thanks for looking and those who answered some of my questions.

Man, I've got to find me another 63!

Need to go see the salvage guy again to see where the machines are.

Bob - to me it looks nice enough to be #2? ':<img:'>  Nice job and I heard and completely understand the significance of it keeping the beer cold...  My VMC110 is full!

Looks good.  My V63 has been good to me, but I think I'll be looking for a V90 this summer.  I need more than 7 selections! ':<img:'>

Nice job on the 63.  They are a great looking machine. The square tops are gaining momentum!
