Information and costs for restorations or repairs on your vintage coke machine. We repair or restore most machines from the 1940s – 1960s, including Vendo, VMC, Cavalier, and Westinghouse.
Repair or Restore - your Two Options
Option 1 Repairs
- A repair or partial restoration is when we get the machine vending again, replacing a cooling system, replacing missing or broken parts, restoring the interior, and / or maybe adding a fresh coat of clear coat to the outside – but keeping the patina on the exterior original.
- We do repairs and partial restorations ala carte, see repair information and pricing
Option 2 Full Restorations
( Effective Jan 2024 We are not accepting any more full restorations – only replacement of cooling systems and mechanical repairs. See contact us page for details)
When you want to restore the machine back close to like-new condition, including a new paint, clear coat and lettering
- Full restoration includes the mechanics and cosmetics, both outside and inside, new paint, clear coat, lettering, decals, cooling system, etc. Partial restorations do not include repainting the machine, just repairs.
- We put a new cooling system in all our full restorations and it is included in the price. The machine is disassembled and restored one part at a time.
