Restoring America...1 machine at a time!
« on: December 07, 2010, 02:40:41 pm »
Just wanted to share with everyone what arrived in the mail today! Thanks to Glen (Moondawg81b) for looking the machine over for me and orchestrating the deal. Without his expertise and patience, not to mention crating the machine, it never would of happened. Now comes the decision to try and keep it original or do a full restore. I always try to lean towards the all original machines but this thing needs some definite TLC. Will keep you all posted in the process. Thanks again Glen for your help.

JB

John, this machine was advertised last month on CL in California and Glen was gracious enough to go look at it for me. It has a coin changer mech but is missing most of the top parts to the mech.  I'll have to find parts for the mech as well as some other small stuff like a door lock set and door glass. Does need some rust repair around the belt line and needs a few dents in the door removed. If i decide to restore this machine, it will be sprayed with single stage lacquer and not over-restored. I like to stay as close to original as possible after restoration...although, the really glossy machines look good too. Shoot me a PM if you have a good source for a chromer and zinc plater. Here are a few more pics I took today.
