What A deal! Looks clean and straight... A LOT of Square top guys here... can help you with the
color paint you need, how to remove the wood  grain, decals and images. Just ask... sure someone
can post a picture of this in Coke red and white with decals to give you an idea of what she can
become! Great score! congrats!  happydrinkers

    To remove the plexiglass sign, open the coin door and remove 2 screws from
the bottom of the sign frame, then pry it out from the bottom since there are
2 locating pins at the top.

Nice score! These machines look great with a fresh coat of paint and new decals. Check this out. This is the exact same machine as yours and it once started out looking a lot like your machine.

Thanks for the help on the sign.Does Wal-Mart sell that bulb size or is that a speciality bulb(no markings at all on mine).Already have taken shelves out--cleaned and hammerpainted them.They look great!!I'm sure I will have tons of questions to come later.Again--THANKS!!

J.D.

Also, what is it worth in present condition?Not going to sell,just wondered.

Looks pretty good, interesting color scheme? curious as to why you kept the woodgrain? unless maybe you just like it?
Enjoy your machine

Believe it or not,the woodgrain doesn't bother me.If I get sick of it at sometime I'll take it off.

Congrat's!  Woodgrain or not, it's one of the cleanest machines i've seen in a while with it's original finish. enjoy!

Looks great!  happydrinkers And I like the woodgrain!  My USS 64 was my first machine and is my everyday user machine.  It still has the original finish and woodgrain and I am going to keep her that way.
