Hey all
Just thought I would ask this question, as I'm thinking of pulling the plug on yet another machine (I have to sell my jacobs though as the wife wont let me get another one
(
Im looking at getting a machine (let's just say that it's a Vendo) I found one locally that has been "restored" which means refurbished in our world. The insides were left original, and just the outside was repainted, re lettered (very well I might ad) and typical stickers (of which I hate, the large 10c decal, and the sprite boy decal)
YET I'm also looking at the same model machine, in it's original state, where it still cools and vends, but, it is original. It has very slight rust, but with all the nicks and scratches one would expect of a 50's roundtop machine.
I got BOTH guys down to the same price, and now it's a decision that I have to make on which way to go?
DO I go with a machine that LOOKS good from the outside, but is NOT original, OR take the machine that is original, and presents ok as is.
What do you all think?
(NOTE: I know that most here will say go with the original, but Im asking the question becaue the refurbised one does look REALLY nice from the outside, other than the fact that it has decals that are not to my liking.) And in my collection, I have originals, refurbised, and fully restored machines. NONE of which I tend to use)
Any insight is nice
