Stoner 180 in Mid Green Hammertone

[Larry]

Top notch !!  You even included the instruction card plus the service clip.  Not to mention a lock on the coin box.

Thanks everyone!
With the 180 under my belt, I have dismantled my Junior and will be getting to work on it...

Thanks for mentioning the details Larry!

Looks awesome Jim.. It looks like the hammertone came out very even.. not easy on big surfaces..

Very nice restoration. I am impressed.

I remember Curtis posting a reproduction process involving variable drills, swirling and sanding. Is that what you did?

I do want to experiment with colored resins, create a mold, eight actually, mix the base color and swirl in white or some other color and pour the resin mix into the molds. This would get very close to the originals...
Mine are just powder-coated red. I powder-coated all the shelves, product display and brackets, the red trim around the mirror, and the black base is also powder-coated since this woud hold up to foot traffic better.

hi Jim,

Not trying to be a "stickler" but you have done a great job restoring a "Stoner Senior" modal.  Yours will vend 160 candy bars total.  8 slots with 20 shelves in each slot for a total of 160.  Stoner 180s have square mirrors with chrome bezels on 3 sides and 8 slots with 25 trays totalling 180 selections.

Just trying to be helpful.  Curtis can verify.  Here is a pictrue of my Stoner 180.

holy cow you went ALL OUT on that restoration, looks fantastic.  How long did the resto take you

[Jim]

Thank you for model identification Brian !
I'm still learning about the Stoners, but do know the difference between the Junior and 120...

Jim,

I have been restoring Stoners for 10 years.  I thought all Jrs were 120s  There is a Junior Deluxe model (large bezel that holds identification tag) and standard Juniors (small bezel).  What is a 120?
