Nice looking machine and restoration but the color looks wrong?  I know the originals were all white and I hope it is just the lighting.  But why would you go to the trouble of doing a nice restoration like that and not use the correct shade of green for the two tone color scheme?  Checked his website and it looks like the guy does nice work.

I with you Tim, Looks like a turquise, which looks great on a 57 Bel Air, but not on this machine

This was the machine that was on ebay a few weeks ago, it was unrestored and they where going to sell it for 5500 and she said restoration is being completed and winning bidder would get the restored machine,, I bet the winning bidder saw how they DESTROYED it with the wrong color and backed up... she was only looking to get 5500 out of it ,so someone coudl still pick it up right, take it apart, repainted it (looks like the body work was done right) and have a nice one? but why would you do it in Blue? I just don't get it?

I would get it repainted. If he couldn't get the color right what are the odds that the rest of the restoration was done correctly?

Isn't that coin mech for a small door machine?
