I noticed this style of machince comes up alot. So it seems to be a fav to redo in that about any type of product. I just wondered what this does to values of the true machine painted in a coke scheme. Plus the value of this single type of machine? I noticed the westing house machine I got was also done as a R.C. machine. Okay I can go for that idea. They was used for R.C. machines too. But, if I wanted to do my machine as say something that didn't exhist. Does this seem to increase the value? I guess it could just be me. It would be kinda cool to see a role of the same machines painted in different vendors that used them for that time. Well anyway, I don't know if I even got my question or saying across.

Where would you go to get the front/side graphics reproduced?

I think the graphics are from soda-decals.com
or sodadecals.com (it's one of those ways.)
I noticed last Chicago Coin-Op  that a lot of
the little square tops are being turned into
Beer and other soda brands.
They turn out beautiful and for those that collect the
harder to find or in most cases, brands that didn't have machines, they are great.
I wouldn't think it would hurt the value, It's not like they're being cut up and welding in a embossed piece and
claiming to be rare. It's just paint and nice graphics.
This is probably the nicest square top I've seen.

Way to Go!
