The extra tubing was for the waterfountain on the side.
You seem very ambitious. taking on a project that none of us would try....please keep us posted on this restoration. Those legs are a good start.

I don't understand why they placed water fountains on the side of soda machines?? Surely the potential buyer would satisfy their thirst with the water and then not buy the soda.
How do they work anyway?? Where does the water supply come from??

My guess is there was a hose of some sort that connected to a nearby tap for the water supply.. (you wouldn't want it permantly attached to a water supply) I guess the refrigeration in the machine kept the water nice and cold.

It was a "customer service" thing. You may not have had the 5 cents that day, maybe the next. Think the tradition has died out sadly. Creighton

What did you have to pay for the fountain? Just curious. I thought I saw one out there.
Yes, I have a tendency to jump into the deep end of things, but so far, with other things I've ... jumped into, I've managed to be bizarrely (is that a word?) successful.
Besides, it's one HUGE challenge! And, it would be SOOOO amazing when completed. But, now I want a water fountain, too! Jeez, then I'd have to plumb it in somewhere .... I think I'm nuts.
