Hi Brian

unfortunately not...
Not much in the way of goodies local. It was an Ebay buy

 (druing the boycott...sorry but they almost never come up)

It was about 80 miles away...so I guess for some of you guys it would have been almost in your back yard.

Dave that is very cool  Cool look's like it's going to fun to restore.
And on your room look's like there is no more room, so now where
do you go from there the dinning room, the garage or even
the master bedroom (the wife wont like that one) Oo

big thumb up on the back yard deal.

Pat... My room was once upon the time my garage. Well at least part of it... I want the other part now but Mrs Birman has put her foot firmly down...

I did have a Juke in our bedroom for a few years so there is still the chance that I could move that back. I'd have to get rid of one of her Antique bits of furniture or perhaps the vanity table but "when needs must...Sacrifices need to be made...

Looking at making a start on the machine this week. So hopefully in the not too distant future some before and after snaps...

Well finally finished this latest project...

A complete strip down to bare wood. Lots and lots of new wax.
A new playfield and paint job for the men and its now as good as new...

Its amazing how peeling back all that paint leaves a lovely piece of wood.
For once I think would agree that WoodGrain is good...
