That is a good looking square top. Is it embossed or is it decals/silk screened.

the Dr Pepper on the front is painted, the rest are decals.  im looking for new decals, lock mechanism for the coin mechanism door, and a few other parts.  are they common to other machines?  it runs and cools, i found a $5 rusted up destroyed coke machine about 15 years ago, used it's cooling system to make mine work, i should have taken more parts!  i need to see pics of other machines with the inside of the coin door to see the lock, the coin return lever, and lock for the door itself.   it works, lights up, almost perfectly.  im thinking of redoing the machine, repainting and redecal the machine too, there's very little rust.  any hints? info?   thanks!
