Westinghouse Coke Machine Restoration
Grand America Jukebox also restores and repairs Coke / Coca Cola chest soda machines as well. Pictured is a Coca-Cola Westinghouse WD-12 soda machine we restored. Chest soda machines are very versatile, having no actual vend mechanism, just a large open area. They can hold beverages as well as food. They also remain cold longer than an upright soda machine. For the WD-12 Coca Cola Machine pictured, we performed a full restoration, added two-tone paint and a NEW cooling system
Before

After
Before After
 
The Westinghouse WD-12 Coca Cola machine came in solid red with red lids as did the next series Westinghouse built, the WH-12. Later, in 1956 they added two-tone paint with a stainless steel lid in the front to the WH-12. We simply added the two-tone paint
Before

Brand new plastic lid liners and all new gaskets

Backside before
This Westinghouse WD-12 was rough! It sat outside for many years unused and neglected
After a full restoration and a new cooling assembly, the WD-12 is ready for many years of service
The back cover was missing. We made a pattern and cut it out with a water jet machine
We bent and fit the new cover, then welded it together
After paint, we have a nice, removable back cover. The WD-12 has the cooling lines run up the back, left side of the machine as pictured. The next series Westinghouse made was the WH-12 which had a different cooling system. So, the lines ran up the center of the back and it had two "Drink Coca-Cola" signs
Full restoration of your WD-12 / WH-12 starting at est
Grand America Jukebox can also convert chest soda machines into "Coca-Cola Soda Bars"
