Just like the astronaut once said when asked ( do you think a rocket is worth the cost were paying to have it built) answer was----  would you want to go to the moon in a rocket the lowest bidder built?

Boy... that's a Fact!!! A million moving parts, going to the lowest bidding contractor...whew! lol tounge

Thanks Pat...and as always Sir, your opinion means the "World" to me....

update on the latest 44... the customer wanted to just clean it up, polish the paint, handle, coin slot, and bottle opener. I added
a few decals, nothing over the top.... The machine still shows it's age, but I think it turned out nice! It still amazes me, what a little
"elbow grease" can do!

Turned out really nice. I did the internals of a 44 a while back for a friend. Went pretty smooth. Easy machine to tear down and put together.

Did you polish up the coin mech as well or was it that clean to start with?

Wow Wayne!!! thanks!  blush


Brian, it was dirty. The finish wasn't too bad. It just needed a little WD40, OOOO steel wool, and a
toothbrush. I'm pretty good at cleaning things up...lot's of experience, I guess. Oh, and I did put the handle
on the buffer too... shiny! hahaha

Remember, the only paint used, was on the inside. The outside is old, has some fading, stains, and dents. I just "spruced" it
up, but no repaint. He didn't want to spend the extra money, but was extremely happy, with the photos I had sent.
