Thanks, it was a poor attempt at a two-tone paint job in the begining with a good case of liner-rustout on the bottom area of the liners' floor, (due to a typical plugged drain outlet)  you can see the new panel in place in the one closeup. I even found two mercury dimes stuck in the coinmech (1923 & 1936) jammed in the nickel slot & stuck in place inside a glob of dried up grease. the compressors still running nice & quite, and cold too. the owner supplied the repro (Cornhuskers) vending drum & ratchet assy, while the fan-shroud & decals came from Steve Ebener at  Funtronics ( some of the decals are not yet applied) it's done in Centari Enamal (coke) red & white on the embossing,

Pat Pixley cut me the nice set of breaker-strips from some nice textured pvc plastic ( using the cracked originals as a templet) they turned out great & they add some depth to the looks of the inner cabinet & were WAY more flexible & easier to install than the original "crack-a-matic" phenelic plastic types. the coin return cup is a repro too. but the handle & opener bezel & coinbezel & decal are original, I only replaced what was damaged or missing.

Great job Johnie.

Looks awesome.. did you get anything replated or is the paint on some stuff like the latches and main door handle just a great paint job? also did you replate the mech or did it clean up real nice like that?
Looks very nice...
