Well, it has been a long process but I finally finished the Cole Spa! I have one issue with the small condenser switch in the last pic. When it is pointed up, it does not run, when it is facing down in this last picture, it runs all the time. I think it is only supposed to kick on when the cup drops into the dispenser. Does anyone know about this? Other than that, this think is up and running. You can see before and after pics.

It was not easy! It took over 8 months and many hours! I had to pull everything out and start from stratch.  censored I had to put new tape on the wires and fix a few spots that were in bad shape. Had to put in all new lines and fan on the compressor.  darn Look to enjoy my first real drink from it this weekend, then I think I will be selling it.

Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor

"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

Hey all thought I would pop In.........


Brian, Great looking machine, I had a few questions on this and if you or if anyone else has any ideas Im all ears.  OK so I have a cup drop machine( actually 2) and wanted to know how do you clean the syrup lines and Pumps since I have no clue how long the old owners had these machines sitting? a diluted solution of Bleach? " dispensed through them followed by a huge water rinse"? Would that clean the pumps( inside) good enough to remove syrup from them? ( PS my 2 machines are postmix and have syrup pumps( electric). I will replace the lines that are exposed but the pumps..... ahhhhh Im lost. OK second, On this cole spa machine the tanks have clamps to keep the lids on, I have the tanks and lids too but no clamps so I didn't know if I can get some someplace or not??  Oo  I thin k thats it for now, I will get pictures when I get to them, right now Im still trying to make more time to finish projects  but I dont seem to have much extra time( still working on a " Christmas present" for a Brother and his wife.....LOL Kinda late..... Thanks Adam
