Thanks, just got back home with it.  OK, you guys were right, it's tall and HEAVY!!  Haven't plugged it up yet, wires are frayed, so I'll rewire today.  I'm just still stoked that it's got all the shelves!!

OK, rewired the pwr junction box and "IT LIVES"!!!!! '>   Fan works, blows cold, pwr to the coin mech, and I'm happy.  I do have 3 problems though.  1.  All coins (about 90% of them) seem to be falling straight through to the coin return.  2.  I can't get it to vend, the switch to vend doesn't do anything, 3.  I think the thermostat is grounded someplace, since everytime I connect it, it trips a breaker.  Other than those things, and I've got the service manual coming, I'm really happy w/ my $25.00 purchase.

Welcome to the board and great score!!
1) Could be a dirty slug rejector. Lots of earlier posts on how to clean those. Just use the search function. Can't tell what kind of coin mech that is. Have a model number or a picture? Will need to sort out what price it is set to vend at.
2) Could just be gummed up as well or it is not getting voltage to vend. The wise ones in electricty here can help better than I.
3) Contact one of the venders here and order a new T-stat.
Any questions just ask.
