Title: Decal questions???? Post by: jenkine on February 17, 2010, 06:01:23 pm I see a number of pre 1960 and post 1960 machines that have decals: sprite boy or hand holding a coke as examples. I personally like the way these look.
Were they added by coke or individuals later? Is it appropriate in your opinion to take an original machine and add a decal to it or does that hurt the value? Thanks. On another note, I let an original v39 get away from me the other day. Lady was selling it for $650 but would not provide me any good pics and I was about 300 mi away from her. She sold it locally, I guess I should have taken the chance on it..... Title: Re: Decal questions????

Decals are a matter of personal choice and taste, the condition of the machine and its popularity will drive the price, not the Sprite boy on the side. As for the 39, I think you made the right choice. I love the 39, it was my first machine, and it's a classic. The price was good but without pictures, I couldn't see a 3 hr drive. Trust me, a closer one will turn up |
