Title: Is this the correct decal? Post by: Pixel on September 30, 2013, 11:58:49 pm I'm trying to locate a decal for the "wide-glass" vend door on a later Cavalier USS-64. I don't have a machine yet, but I'm thinking if I get one I may need a new decal for the door at some point. I've found one on eBay, seller claims it's from the late 70's. Is this the right one?
(Water slide decal, type J-70) http://www.ebay.com/itm/121059092797 (http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Coca-Cola-Coke-Water-Decal-Slide-Sticker-Machine-Cooler-Vintage-1977-Type-J-70-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/$(KGrHqV,!h0E9R)(t4GKBPhU(wK41g~~60_57.JPG) I don't know if I've seen a bottle door with the dynamic wave on it, but if the rest of the logo is proportionally correct, I could cut the wave off.

Title: Re: Is this the correct decal? Post by: Pixel on October 01, 2013, 03:55:12 pm The seller says the decal is 5 1/2" x 13 1/2". Since that likely includes the wave, I'd bet the lettering is gonna be too small. Other than the size and wave this decal looks right to me :down:
Thank you davestar. Is yours USS a 64, or 96? Does anybody know where I might could get the right one? Title: Re: Is this the correct decal? Post by: MoonDawg on October 01, 2013, 04:00:12 pm Check with Funtronics.

It looks like you have one of the last variants Cavalier made. I prefer that look myself.

Title: Re: Is this the correct decal? Post by: Pixel on October 07, 2013, 07:41:36 pm That's a nice looking machine. For awhile, I was puzzled when I'd see some later USS's with black edges, and some with red. The I realize the ones with red edges did not have the black trim around the door. I don't really see that trim as necessary, yours look good without it.
I struck out with Fun-Tronics on the decal. I was told that they had never reproduced it. I don't actually need it yet, but it occurs to me that it could be a problem for machines featuring that decal as the years go by. It was starting to peel off the last machine I saw in person. |
