Finally after 2 1/2 years I can close a chapter in in my soda machine history. This machine was acquired from Eric in a large deal we made about 2 1/2 year ago. Once the machine came home it was taken apart, sandblasted, and brought to a local body shop here in town where it sat untouched for right at 2 years. Very little work was done to it and what was done was not right! Frustrated I pulled it losing money and brought it up to Randy in Ozark, MO 6 weeks later I picked up ready for reassembly. The stainless trim is all original and restored, coin mech is NOS out of the original box never mounted in a machine until yesterday. Slug Rejector was restored by Tom, All internal working have been powdercoated, Cooling unit has been rebuilt with new compressor, fan motors, wiring, thermostat etc. All in all a No Expense restoration!!! Eric this ones for you buddy!

Very Nice Joey ! ! !
Fortunately, you didn't loose any parts in that time frame...
It looks like there's room in the photo for another project next to the V-81!
