Title: Looking for a good Restorer Post by: vintage-air on January 19, 2012, 10:26:03 am I am looking for a top notch restorer for one of my machines and wanted to know who you guys use. John (signguy) is booked up solid and rick's restoration won't return phone calls. How does this guy stay in business? Let me know thanks!

Title: Re: Looking for a good Restorer Post by: Kilroy on January 19, 2012, 10:57:03 am I concur, depending where you are east coast or West Coast, I'd recommend Pat or MoonDawg, though Pat has issues putting woodgrain back on your machine... :)

Curtis Kauffman Memory Lane Restorations/www.retrovending.com Awesome woodgrain on that machine Curtis! Not to hijack the thread but can you post pictures of the machine completely reassembled? I would love to see it all back together. How did you refinish the pull knobs. The originals on my maching like that have a touch of bakelite on the ends. :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Looking for a good Restorer Post by: cokemachinesandmore on January 20, 2012, 04:18:55 pm John (signguy) may be booked but his work is definitely worth the wait!!! top notch!!
Title: Re: Looking for a good Restorer Post by: SIGNGUY on January 20, 2012, 04:55:23 pm First off, thanks for the kind words on my work.. it means a lot..
:blush: On another note, it's good to see all of the other guys just as booked up as I am , hopefully a good sign, not only for our Hobby being more popular, but hopefully a good sign that our economy is turning around a little bit.. I currently have orders and deposits down for 7 Vendo 81's and 3 other customer machines, which are a C 51, a Vendo 39 and an Orange Crush Slider... so yeah.. pretty swamped right now.. but if a person can wait till next winter, would love to help. Title: Re: Looking for a good Restorer Post by: Pat Pixley on January 20, 2012, 09:28:54 pm I have to agree with you John it is a good sign of thing to come (I hope ) and I just took on two more machines, and both are bring me there machine ( Kansas city a Jacobs & alpena MI A vendo 81 ) :Oo:
Title: Re: Looking for a good Restorer Post by: globalcompressors on January 20, 2012, 11:43:00 pm busy here too, Guys....maybe a good sign? Don't "jinx" it though....cautiously optimistic....
