I have a pepsi machine I found a Coke light up cover to turn it into a Coke machine. I haven't started it yet. Same reasons as why you had to stop for awhile. I love that you show the good and bad. Not everyone does. Thanks for the tips and learning from your mistakes. You are humble and honest. I hope the new career works out and you find some free time to finish this project. I look forward to seeing more of it in the future.
This is clearly a long term passion and project with tons of detours just like life is - 6 months later aka 16 parts later:) that front came up really great.
Thank you so much I tried super hard on it! Im currently in the same boat currently with editing the newest part. Life happens and its hard to take the time to do it!
Dang dude looks nice! You inspired me to buy a 60's model machine and do a restoration myself. I bought the machine and am now getting it to work, replacing wiring harness, fixing cooling deck, ect. I'm a service technician for Coca-Cola so I already enjoyed repairing soda machines. Thank you 😊
I am actually working on a youtube video for this machine but going to list under another youtube account ua-cam.com/channels/9g3CwL1uvEiXFHH0WcLrrA.html
Ive watched from the beginning to current and would like to encourage you to use everything you learned in restoring this coke machine for other restorations. I would love to have just a little of the knowledge you have. Be encouraged and im looking forward to the next restoration video of the project.
This is probably the best comment I've received on my videos! Thank you for such a heart felt comment! I have 1 un-edited coke video from about 9 months ago. I have 2 MG videos that are un-edited I filmed last month. I am actually working on the coke machine this weekend after a solid 9 month break. I hope to be finished by the end of December! Thank you again for your support. It means the world to me!
i just bought a vendo H63 luckily it looks almost exactly like yours and i bet the insides are identical..thanks for the videos and taking the time to post them...
Hi there awesome job so far, i have a cs-80 where did you find the have a coke sign that lights up with the bulb? mine is all cracked and need a new one. You mentioned a parts web site?
Mine is actually the original. However i did find one on funtronics under the vendo 63. Im not too sure if its the same size though. It looks to be dead on.
ok great i will check, i have a vendo 77, severl 63's a cavalier CS-80E, a westinghouse WE-6, vendo 56...looking to restore just a few but like what you are doing!
have you sourced a supplier for a good coke color? ive been told by my resto guy in denver that coke red was all over the place with their colors. I know funtronics has some touch up red but curious if you had a better color or paint brand.
You are right on the money!! Coke has had so many colors. So i just settled on rustoleum sunrise red. Its pretty close in my opinion. Just a few shades different. But thats with 60 years of fade too!
@@bpprojects6676 oh ok. I am considering layers of foam board insulation but need to get the thickness correct. Also there were three pieces of what looked like particle board on each side that the inner tub sat on that were quite deteriorated. Any ideas on alternate material?
As far as the particle board goes. I would honestly buy something like it and cut it yourself. I ended up painting the originals black! They look great.
Im in Indiana, there is a small mom and pop joint over between greenfield and Richmond. It was about 100$ for me to get the entry part, and the bent coin release handle chromed. Well worth the money though! The name of the shop was CMF-IN LLC. In Cambridge city, Indiana. You are able to send the parts in. They will email and estimate do the work. Bill you, and ship them back. It was nice!
Its sitting unedited on my computer.. I am so busy with other projects. I haven't had much time for the coke machine. I plan on hopefully getting it done this year!!
I haven't unfortunately. Ive had tons of things come up in the past 2 years. I haven't been able to touch the machine hardly. Part 17 has been filmed and just needs editing. Im sorry i haven't finished!
Currently sitting on my computer in a file. I need to stop procrastinating and actually edit the next part. Also the machine is not yet completed. That is also another thing i need to get back to working on!
I had a 1979 MG Midget, it was the newest car I've ever bought (it had 25,000 miles on it, it was like new back in 1983). I drove it far and wide. And it broke down on me and left me stranded more times than I can count. It was easily the worst, most unreliable car I've ever owned. I hated that car, and ultimately abandoned it at an outdoor storage facility. Strangely, the 1978 MGB that I bought several years later was a very good, and very reliable car! Go figure.
I am still following this project with a BIG passion! Keep it up! Love it!
Thank you so much!

No problem! Thanks for watching! Ive been procrastinating pretty hard, but I've got another one that just needs editing!
Need to see more! Please!
Curious of the retailer you found the plastic pieces on, working on a css-96 myself and I’m working for the Have a coke part
Funtronics!
Hi there awesome job so far, i have a cs-80 where did you find the have a coke sign that lights up with the bulb? mine is all cracked and need a new one. You mentioned a parts web site?

Did you finish the coke machine?
What kind of insulation did you use to insulate the box? Tks and nice job!
I actually have not insulated it yet. When I do, it will probably be just regular fiberglass house insulation.
@@bpprojects6676 oh ok. I am considering layers of foam board insulation but need to get the thickness correct.
Also there were three pieces of what looked like particle board on each side that the inner tub sat on that were quite deteriorated. Any ideas on alternate material?
As far as the particle board goes. I would honestly buy something like it and cut it yourself. I ended up painting the originals black! They look great.
Ahh ok. Mine were extremely brittle. I just used some scrap boards and cut to fit :)
Also... Curious where you sent your parts to have them chromed
Im in Indiana, there is a small mom and pop joint over between greenfield and Richmond. It was about 100$ for me to get the entry part, and the bent coin release handle chromed. Well worth the money though! The name of the shop was CMF-IN LLC. In Cambridge city, Indiana. You are able to send the parts in. They will email and estimate do the work. Bill you, and ship them back. It was nice!
Is there a part 17? Do we ever get to see it finished?
Its sitting unedited on my computer.. I am so busy with other projects. I haven't had much time for the coke machine. I plan on hopefully getting it done this year!!
DId you ever finish? I dont see a part 17-19
I haven't unfortunately. Ive had tons of things come up in the past 2 years. I haven't been able to touch the machine hardly. Part 17 has been filmed and just needs editing. Im sorry i haven't finished!
Where are the remaining videos?
Oh sorry! They are currently unedited on my computer 😅 i still haven't painted it. Ive had some life stuff pop up in th past 2 years.
How do you have stencils made?
I had a local sign making shop do mine for me.
@@bpprojects6676 very cool. Just got a 60s Pepsi machine myself and I'm about to get started.
Thats awesome! Good luck!
@@bpprojects6676 thanks! Also, where did you get your parts re chromed?
A small mom and pop place in east central indiana! They did amazing.
Where is the update and completion video?
Currently sitting on my computer in a file. I need to stop procrastinating and actually edit the next part. Also the machine is not yet completed. That is also another thing i need to get back to working on!
@@bpprojects6676 Hop to it, lol!
I know i know 😂
Did you finish?!?
I have not! Unfortunately, i haven't had the time to mess with it in 2 years! I plan pn finishing this year if possible.
2024 almost 2025 and still waiting for rest of the saga.
Life gets busy sometimes. Hopefully, I will find the time one of these days.
Did you ever finish this restoration?
I have not! Ive been in a deep hole of procrastination. I've been doing tons of other projects instead. Hoping to get back to it this year!
