Decided to resurrect my old Vendo Coke Machine. Wife gave it to me in1986 for my birthday and it was in constant use from then until the early 2000's. Since then it has been in garage covered by a heavy moving blanket. The machine was completely original except for a new compressor and new door gasket installed in 1995 or '96.
During storage I did plug it in somewhat regularly and let it run for a while to be sure it still got cold.
This past week I cleaned it up as best as I could, replaced all the gaskets in the door and cabiniet, put new insulation in the door. insulated the copper tubing and replaced all the screws with new SS screws. I will eventually replace the insulation in the cabinet but that is a major operation. It now at the second lowest thermostat setting keeps the temp. at a nice 38-40 degrees F and is producing very little condensate.
