Why do we Chrome what we Chrome? These machines came from the factory 50
years ago with galvanized inside parts. Galvanized parts tend to pick up dirt
and turn black over time. When a machine is restored you can
1). Leave the parts in their natural state.
2). Paint the parts with a Hammertone spray paint. This will wear off
over time and look worse than the unpainted galvanized parts.
3). Plate or Powdercoat the parts in a dull hammertone finish.
Powdercoating is better than painting because it is harder to scratch.
4). Powdercoat the parts in a chrome finish instead of a hammertone. We
like this better, because the chrome powdercoat seems to be even slicker than
the hammertone powdercoat finish and easier to clean.
5). Chrome the parts. We love this and prefer it! Chrome is harder to
scratch and looks a world better than powdercoat. Chrome will outlast plated
parts behind the coin door. We figure chrome was invented in the 50's and
powdercoat was not. Given the choice of powdercoating a galvanized part or
chroming a galvanized part, We like Chrome!
Victor, Westinghouse, Cavalier, Etc all had different versions of their
vintage soda machines. You find chest coolers with chrome handles and black
plastic handles. You find Victor bars with stainless doors and black doors. You
find chest coolers with stainless steel kick plates and some chest coolers that
were shipped without them. The reason these machines were produced with extra
chrome and extra stainless on them was to make them more desirable. Get the
customers attention and get more sales!
We understand that it cost more to chrome these Parts. Our company
maintains a low overhead and we can include this in the restoration of our
vintage soda machines and still manage to keep our Best Restoration Price below
our competitor's price.
Does Chrome increase the value of a Soda Machine? Chrome is the most
expensive finish you can put on a metal part, unless you plan to have it gold or
silver plated. Chrome is durable and out shines all the rest. Go try to buy a
Chevrolet or Ford Truck and tell the sales person to toss in the Chrome package
for the front of your new Vehicle for free. You can't buy a Lincoln Truck for
the same price as a Ford F150. Nine out of every 10 callers that contact our
company to have their vintage machine restored, always choose the chrome
package. The Automobile industry knows that more chrome increases sales and so
do we! Our customers also prefer our real reproduction stainless molding over
the plastic chrome 5/8 inch chome stick on tape. That is why we use the real
stainless on our machines.
