Sorry for the slightly weird first post. I never thought I'd be asking around for info on vending and arcade cabinets but then after one machine last year and an arcade machine a month ago, when this ended up in my driveway I had to find a place to get a better idea how deep this rabbit hole is. I'm not totally unskilled on this stuff but I've certainly never really messed with it.
Anyways, so this is a Rowe cold food machine that was recovered from an abandoned ski lodge. It has seen its share of vandalism but otherwise it is complete in the inside and some of the visually absent items like the coin return are undamaged. A lot of metalwork on this one....
A packrat made its home around the compressor and aside from packing it full of all levels of garbage it did a good number on the wiring harness. I need schematics for the machine if I am to attempt to restore it. Unfortunately all the Rowe documentation for their cold food machines that I have found so far refers to their larger carousel machines. In fact I cannot find any information on this model at all aside from one stock photo dated from 1981.
