Just sharing a couple of photos of a newly completed restoration...
I have to say, the guy I found to air-brush the cabinet door panel did an outstanding job ! ! !
I reviewed his portfolio before hiring him and was blown away with the quality of his workmanship ! ! !

Wow !!!!!
Very nice. The artwork is awesome, and the mech and vending rack is a work of art on its own.
Outstanding job Jim.

Jim,
Is The mechanism re-plated or is it powder coated?
(Or both)

Thanks for the all compliments!

Combination of both, but mostly zinc plated. The magazine assembly, the shift magazines, match columns, and couple cross brace parts/brackets have been powder-coated.  The coin mech was completely dis-assembled into parts and zinc plated prior to re-assembly...
