The machine looks really great but, I would replace the electrical harness and fan motors.  '>

Brian,
I'm coming in a little late but from the looks of the interior photo, this machine has seen very little use. I can't believe the bottom tray of the liner; it looks flawless! You're sure this machine hasn't been worked on...?
You have already made your decision, but I thought I would still repeat what others have suggested. Keep it original! With a little TLC, elbow grease and some good chemicals, you wouldn't believe how much you could make this shine like new!
Good luck with it!

Hey
Load that puppy with short 8 oz beer bottles ( Corona, Bud, Bud light).
Then you could pull a mystery beer each time.
Luck of the draw.
Leave it & use it.

Thanks for the ideas. What is the most effective chemical to clean it with without damaging the paint? Please let me know if you have any ideas.
ps I will be loading it with some 8 oz beer this weekend. Great idea. Does anyone know what types of small beers will fit into the drum?'>

A soft rag and "car wash in a bottle" for cleaning and then "polishing compound" followed by a good quaility car wax works well for me.

Talking about V-39's saw this toady on Ebay UK.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Coca-Co....iewItem
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will reach big money. If it does I may decide to part with one of mine.
The seller claims its restored. I wouldn't be happy calling it that. What exactly counts as a restoration???

Dave, not only has that machine not been restored........it hasn't even been painted except for maybe a little silver with a spray can inside. Misleading description
