IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING PURCHASING A MACHINE FROM SOMEONE ELSE, AND THEY ARE
USING MINE TO COMPARE THEIR'S TO, ASK THESE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
NOTE: ALL THESE FACTORS HAVE A PLACE IN DETERMINING THE VALUE OF A RESTORED COKE
MACHINE!
1. WAS THE MACHINE STRIPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BARE CABINET, AND
SANDBLASTED TO REMOVE THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL RUST? many amateur refurbishes
will not take the machine apart, leave the original insulation, and internal
rust intact, and do a quick scuff and shoot paint job, then miss-represent the
machine as restored...
2. ARE THE INTERNAL PARTS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY GALVANIZED NOW POWDERCOATED OR
SIMPLY PAINTED? painting internal parts that were originally galvanized is a
cheap, incorrect substitute for powdercoating that will not hold up inside a
refrigerated cabinet.... don't allow the amateur or TV Personality to tell you
different! Paint is cheap and easy and chips off. Powdercoat will last 10 times
longer !!!
3. HAS THE ORIGINAL ZINC PLATING BEEN RE-ZINC PLATED OR WERE THOSE PARTS ONLY
PAINTED? a lot of parts inside the coin door original came zinc plated from the
factory.... I always have these parts re-zinc plated, then I clear coat the so
they won't tarnish
4. WAS THE CHROME PLATING DONE AS SHOW CHROME OR WAS A CHEAP CHROME PLATTER USED
WHO DOES UTILITY PLATING? people don't realize that there are different degrees
of chrome plating..... My chrome is done by the best in the country..Custom
Chrome in Grafton Ohio. they are famous for their quality show chrome......
5. WAS THE CORRECT ORIGINAL REFRIGERATION UNIT RESTORED, OR IS THERE SOME TYPE
OR REPLACEMENT UNIT IN PLACE? many restorers simply replace the original
refrigeration unit, with a new reproduction unit..... it is my position that
maintaining the original refrigeration unit retains the antique integrity of
your vintage machine, the same way keeping the original motor in your classic
Corvette would.
6. WAS THE INTERNAL RUST IN THE CABINET REPAIRED PROFESSIONALLY AND THE CABINET
UNDERCOATED INTERNALLY BEFORE NEW INSULATION WAS INSTALLED? not doing this
simple step could lead to future issues..... instead of seeing how much you can
get away with, I go the extra mile, and have established practices that ensure
your machine will stay restored....
7. IS THE PAINT JOB DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER OR BY AN AMATEUR many amateur
restorers will try to paint these machines themselves in their garage instead of
paying the professional paint shop to do the job correctly!
8. WERE THE CORRECT ORIGINAL GRAPHICS RE-APPLIED ON THE MACHINE, OR INCORRECT
GRAPHICS DONE FROM INCORRECT MEMORY ? many amateur restorers will put an
incorrect graphics in the wrong spot because they don't have enough integrity in
their work to even look at an original to see the correct graphics and
placement......
9. WAS THE VENDING ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLED AND RESTORED PROFESSIONALLY? many
amateurs will simply paint the inner cabinet and vending mechanism with a can of
Hammer-tone spray paint....this is a true sign of an amateur who is out to make
a quick buck instead of doing the job correctly!!
10. DOES THE MACHINE VEND CORRECTLY? WAS THE VENDING ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLED AND
RESTORED PROFESSIONALLY? many makes and models will not vend the new small size
Coke bottle correctly, they were designed and engineered to vend the original
size Coke bottle that is no longer made.
11. DOES THE MACHINE COOL CORRECTLY? Many Amateur Restorers do not have an
understanding of the correct Cycling these machines require to not "Short
Cycle", They also install wrong fan motors that are noisy or turn in the wrong
direction.
12. WAS ALL THE OLD ORIGINAL WIRING REPLACED? Old original machines have old
wiring that is cracked and dangerous, this can cause fires or personal
injury..... Old Wiring needs to be replaced!!!
13. DOES THE MACHINE HAVE ALL NEW LEG LEVELERS THAT TURN FREELY? Old machines
have old leg levelers that are always rusted in place, a proper working machine
needs to be properly adjusted so the condensation water drains properly! Many
old machines have rusted inner cabinet liners where the old galvanized liner has
rusted through, soaking the internal insulation where it is trapped, causing
these machines to rust from the inside out !!!
14. WAS THE OLD ROTTEN DRAIN TUBE REPLACED? Many Old machines have drain tubes
with an S trap that is filled with debris that won't allow the condensation to
drain, this also leads to holes in liners, and internal rust
15. WAS THE ORIGINAL INNER CABINET LINER PROFESSIONAL REPAIRED OR IS THE BOTTOM
OF THE LINER RUSTED AND COVERED WITH HAMMER PAINT TO HIDE THE RUST? Many
Amateurs will try to hide a repaired inner cabinet liner with bondo and hammer
paint, this is a dirty trick that is done to deceive the potential customer,
this will not last, again internal rust.
16. DOES THE SELLER HAVE ANY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR SELLING PROFESSIONALLY
RESTORED SODA MACHINES? Crooked eBay sellers will try to convince potential
buyers that they know what they are talking about by SPEWING Technical
information that is wrong.... don't get tricked!
17. WAS THE ORIGINAL STAINLESS BANDING RESTORED, OR NEW PLASTIC CHROME CAR
MOLDINGS APPLIED? Certain makes and models of vintage Coke Machines came with
Stainless steel banding to separate the colors, others did not, some amateurs
will put plastic car chrome moldings on machines that are not even supposed to
have anything, they always use the wrong profile too !!! other amateurs will
restore a machine all one color when it is supposed to be red and white with
banding......
18. WAS THE ORIGINAL COIN MECH RESTORED?, REFURBISHED? GOOD UNRESTORED? NEW
REPRODUCTION? Huge difference in value here folks ! New Reproduction Mechanical
coin mechs are a last resort. BIG $ difference in a "refurbished" original mech and a RESTORED original coin mech.
NOTE: ALL THESE FACTORS HAVE A PLACE IN DETERMINING THE VALUE OF A RESTORED COKE
MACHINE!
I HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKED ABOUT A T.V. PROGRAM AIRED ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL CALLED
"PAWN STARS" IN WHICH A SEGMENT WAS DONE ON RESTORING A VINTAGE COKE
MACHINE........ THE MACHINE THAT WAS WHEELED INTO THE PAWN SHOP WAS A VENDO 39
AND THE ONE PRESENTED AS RESTORED WAS A CAVALIER 72......... THERE IS NO AMOUNT
OF RESTORATION THAT CAN CHANGE ONE MAKE AND MODEL INTO ANOTHER MAKE AND
MODEL......KINDA LIKE TAKING A FORD GALAXY INTO THE CAR RESTORATION SHOP, AND
COMING OUT WITH A CHEVY CORVETTE.... THE PRODUCERS OF THE SHOW PULLED A HOAX ON
THE PUBLIC......... WHAT HAPPENED IN VEGAS, SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN VEGAS, AND NOT
BEEN BROADCAST ON T.V......... SHAME ON YOU !
