Hello everyone, Just wanted to share a few photos of my recently completed restoration on my V-81B. I have owned this machine more than 20 yrs. and finally decided to restore it and enjoy ! ! ! What is unique is the "small door" changer; it's a nickel mech that returns a nickel when a dime is deposited. I placed the photos in the SMC Photo Gallery under JB RestorationI'll be finishing up a Stoner Junior early next month, so stay tuned... |

Great Job Jim,
Incredible attention to detail too... Love it.
It's those small details like the Rubber Grommeted Wire tires and the Instruction decals that make a Great restoration over a good restoration..
Great job!, Enjoy!

Looks incredible Jim!
I agree with John....great attention to the details! Yes - where did you get the CC Abuse decal?
Nice job on the coin changer as well....I guess Janet found the sheet of SD Changer Instructional Foil-Cals or did you have some made?
Kudos!

Jim,
I was admiring the 81B pictures again and noticed something that struck me as odd.
I was looking at your compressor shot. The assembly has a vent mount condensation pan (normally used with wafers) and you have a 'Empty condensation jar..." decal and no wafers. I thought the wafer set-up was available from suppliers.
I have mainly seen that model compressor in late model 39's (in my V-80 also). Is that a common compressor to the 81B machine? You are lucky it works as the majority of those model compressors that I have owned (80%) were bad.
I, in no way, mean this to be rude - I am so much more critical of my own stuff.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!
Tom,
You are correct regarding the wafers & holder; I just haven't decided to get them as I'm going to use the machine from time to time and my plan was to use the pan or just place a jar for temporary usage... I'm still stuck on what to do with the "gray plastic" drip pan... Leave as is or paint it another color...
Additionally, the "Check Condensate Jar" decal is just a personal like as is the "Empty Coin Box" decal...
As far as the refrigeration system, this system was in it when I purchased it years ago... So, I decided to leave it as is...
I forgot to mention the CC Do Not Abuse Decal...
I have a few originals and decided to place one on the machine; I thought it would be a nice compliment to the machine...

I'm still stuck on what to do with the "gray plastic" drip pan... Leave as is or paint it another color... So it is a reproduction wafer pan that you have? I may have an extra original around here somewhere...it is yours if you want it (and I can find it)! LMK My view was that there should be no need to check condensation levels with wafer set-up (all condensation dissipates) and therefore no need to remind the operator to empty the jar. Again....great work!! |

Is the Do Not Abuse decal NOS (new old stock) from the 1950s or reproduced in the 2000s?

It's an original Matt I had purchased them years ago and actually forgot I had them until I needed to research something in a manual and I ran across them... Wish I had run across them before I cleared the coin door so it could be protected like the other decals... Oh well, you can't have everything... |
