Thanks for the comments... Yes the kids love both machines, and it's great incentive to get them to finish their dinner as I set a dime in front of them at the table, they know they can go select some candy out of one of them afterwards. I too love the color of the Stoner Jr. it's a Real light minty green color that I've seen one some other machines and I really liked it and the letters are silver with a Dark Green border, gotta add some dark green accents yet to it but really like it.. The U-Select-it, actually is painted with Hammertone Blue out of a Spraycan!!! I picked up a base in Chicago that I'm gonna restore same colors and put it on down the road. Yes, Brian, the popperette you see around the corner is fully functional and works great! It's getting tight in the old Gameroom!  |

Nice work John - I'd like to find a U-Select-It sometime that is local.
I finally finished up a project too.
I bought a VCC off eBay last November that was complete, but in fairly poor shape. The chrome was decent, but the nickel track had been pried up on and the shaft had been cut off and extended about two inches. Other parts were bent too, but not the cover.
I traded mech work for a paint job with Randy at Nostalgic Restoration and he did a FANTASTIC job. Other changers I've seen, the painter just paints right over the coin chute - Randy kept the polished stainless steel. Just awesome job!
After cleaning up Bob K's coin changer for him, I decided it was time to tackle mine. I drilled out all the rivets that I could replace with my bench riveter and sent everything to be plated. I finally got everything assembled and polished.
This changer has a very low serial number of 1100 - not sure if I am going to keep it or sell it.

That changer is beautiful, I have never restored one but I would only hope if I do, it would be that nice. Great job!
