I bough this machine at the Springfield, MO swapmeet about two weeks ago, It was complete with the exception of the coin mech. But thanks to Rugrunner I was able to complete the machine.

I will post more pics as it goes back together.





Its very dirty as it was recently wetsanded and buffed, I did the lettering today by hand, It needs a little touchups here and there but overall im happy with it.

No thanks needed to be sent my way, Joey was very helpful to me in giving me a solenoid for the Cavalier I am about to start on and giving me
a great price for the coin mech I no longer needed as well as some free advice!

Joey, got your package today! Thanks again.

Looking forward to more pictures of this project!

I agree, Joey...looks awesome!  Do tell what brushes you use!  I've thought often about attempting my own lettering, just don't know what tools to use.

Well here comes the redneck out of me, I used the cheapest set of brushes money can buy, I bought 20 brushes at a local farm store clearance bin. I think they cost $3.00. I had to pull the loose hairs out of them before I started.

Did that have a Tecumseh compressor unit? What is the current replacement model?

Looks better than factory. What do you use for the bottle loading instructions? Is that a decal or ? Just curious because I've never had one before and am not familiar.

Outstanding! I still can't believe you hand lettered the machine!  jawdrop Does it look as good in person as it does in the pictures? And the top is outstanding...Did you say you had it made instead of buying one? If so, how much difference was there? I was thinking about getting a new one and I can't spend a $180 on it...

Top cost $150.00, The lettering is very nice but not perfect. But you have to get down and look at it to find the problems. The loading instructions is a vinyl decal. Its a $2,000 resto not a $4,500 job.

Doubt a 4,500 resto would look any better. Really nice work!!
