Pictures of my first restoration.  I finished it back in February.  I added a light (string lights around bottle stack, thanks Creighton) and a switch to turn on or off.  I converted the light above the bottle door to an LED.  This light stays on 24/7 not exactly sure why.  Its not shown in the pics though.  That was done after the pics were taken.

Thanks for the comments.  I spray painted the shelves with hammertone paint.  Compressor - I used a high heat flat black spray paint.

Does the light above the dispensing door always stay on?  Mine does and its filled with coins.

Very nice job, I've always liked the light up machines.

This one wasn't a light up one...I added that feature.  I cut out a square out of the metal sign, then I applied velcro to the plexi-sign.  Then added a fluorescent light to the back.

I think my next restoration will be a Victor gumball machine.  Preferably one like this one,

Any help in finding one is appreciated!
