Picking a machine to refurbish can be challenging. You don't want one in too bad of shape but don't want one already repaired either.[attachment=897:NW Super 60 # 43,44,45.jpg]

Sometimes I'll buy a machine even though it is not complete because I know in the future I'll have a need for it. I'll also buy parts lots to use in the refurbishing process. Buying parts lots gives you the spare parts inventory that makes refurbishing more cost effective.

I try to make sure the machine has no holes or dents in the body, base, hopper, and lid. Other small parts such as chute doors,chutes,wheels,brushes,rods,and locks can be replaced relatively cheap if they are not reusable. Some of the parts I buy are coin wheels, coin pawls, washer pawls, and return pawls,(commonly called dogs because they are the shape of a dog leg) sometimes a new globe here and there,wheels and brushes,stickers,lids, springs, screws and nuts and bolts.

Some of the dirtiest roughest machines can be turned into usable ones again with a little work and tender loving care.
