I've been working on a Stoner Jr. For myself and was going to keep the original Gold Hammered paint, but it was just a little too far gone to display as is.. so I decided to restore the whole thing. I tried to clean of the marks and the top had some pretty good rust areas and just overall, just not a clean enough original to bring into the house... I just got it back from paint around the Holidays but just got it together and into the game room this weekend.
I ended up lighting up the selection area with LED Tape lights I bought online... turned out pretty cool... Haven't filled it yet..
Color is close to a Dr. Pepper Green... thought it looked pretty cool and 50's type color....
The insides are nice and clean and I did not restore the vending mechanism...
First picture was original.. then others after restoration.

It looks fantastic. Getting a Stoner 180 done the same way.....internals cleaned, but not restored and the outside sandblasted and repainted.

Very nice addition to your collection. I always love the old stoner candy machines sitting by an old soda machine.

Thanks all,
The LED lights are available everywhere now. I ended up buying mine through an online company called LED World Lighting.com.. but now I see them all over the place now.. fairly inexpensive too and easy to use.

Looks great John!
We have LED for our under cabinet lighting in the kitchen - a lot of bright light for a little energy!

LED's are the best! I just installed some in the trunk of my spitfire. Totally hidden from view, but now I can find stuff in the (*cough* Unlikely) event that I break down.
