Wow i finally finished this project. This was a total restoration from top to bottom. The lettering on the sides is done in Paint and i remade the other decals (Vinyl). I have extras if someone needs them. The chrome was redone and the decal that goes in Back of the coin entry is a decal. Everything is else is either red or white or hammered silver. Eric from Global compressors redid the compressor. Brian redone the wiring (Thanks). Now the vend motors were the hardest thing to find !!! I remade the door liner on a CNC machine . I bought a machine on ebay and had the guy take the motors out for me and had him keep the rest. What a nice guy. Well thats about it now time to start the stoner jr.


I need help posting pictures !! Please Help !!

I never thought I'd see a square top that I'd like.  That is sharp!  Is it the size of a 44?  It looks pretty small. 

I agree with Eric, it's GREAT to have friends with different talents that like to share their skills!!

Nice looking machine. Is the plexiglass sign original? or did you have someone restore it for you? I would like to find one for my 55.

TOP NOTCH, Matt!!  happydrinkers

Were you able to recreate the flavor strips that have the "SOLD OUT" backlit section?  I could use one if you have any spares.

Again, just a fantastic job!

Real sharp looking, Matt!  As others have said, that's a square top that I could see myself owning one day.  I'll have to stop just passing on these and maybe give some of them a second thought.  Thanks for sharing!
