All machines are photographed inside and out. Machines are then vacuumed to clear any broken glass or debris from the inside. A more thorough cleaning completes the preparation. Machines are scrubbed to remove any grime.

A

Machine are completely disassembled and tagged. All nuts and bolts are tagged and bagged. The photo shows a bag for four coin bezel screws.

B

All items are stripped to bare metal, then any rust is media blasted inside and out. All small items are glass beaded or media blasted.

C

The main parts are then delivered to our body shop. Machines are professionally painted, and if there is any embossed lettering to be done, that is next. That work is done by a professional custom pin striper. The machine is then clear coated.

D

The tank and shelves are painted with Hammertone paint, which is sprayed on with a paint gun.

E

Chromed parts that are worn are now rechromed. An optional feature is to then nickel plate the coin shoot, coin box, lock bar and door latch. This adds a nice finished look.

F

New parts, such as the main door rubber, the main rubber seal, the wiring harness and any other parts, are then ordered. For some machines, the main door seal and main seal are not even made as of right now (the blue rubber seals for the Pepsi LaCrosse machines from the late 50s are one example), but we can either replace them with new parts or clean the original items.

A

Once it comes back from the body shop, the machine is again photographed. New stainless steel screws, nuts and bolts are used. Chrome pieces are used as needed.

B

The old insulation in the cabinet and main door is replaced. Next, the tank is put back in the cabinet.

C

Now the coin mechanism is made functional. Mechanical coin mechanisms are sent out to be cleaned and repaired. Electric coin mechanisms stay in-house to be cleaned and repaired.

D

The compressor is next. All compressors get new fan motors and thermostats and are rewired and repainted. If a compressor is not working, it is repaired or replaced.

E

Art work for the machine is made from a high-grade vinyl to your liking.

F

Now the machine is done. A photo of the completed machine is sent to you and the machine is prepared to be shipped home. It is bolted to a pallet and covered with bubble wrap, wrapped with a blanket and packed with foam rubber. A frame is built around the machine and an oriented strand board is placed around it to keep it secure and damage-free.
