Vintage Drink Machine Repairs
Many of our customers only need repairs. If you like the old patina or your machine is in good shape, or your budget is tighter, this is a great option. After all, “they are only original once”. A partial restoration can include anything from a new cooling system, repairs to the machine, set to free vend, fix the lights, and fix the vending.
NOTE: The one thing we do NOT offer on repairs is painting. See: How to decide what to do with your machine
