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)

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.

Length 13". Width approx. 5". No wave.  Let me know if you need more info.

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?

I couldn't find it listed on their website. Do they have more stuff than what the site shows?

Mine is a USS64 early 80's black coin door type.

Would you mine posting a picture of the whole machine? It looks like you have one of the last variants Cavalier made. I prefer that look myself.

Sure, this is the pic I bought it off of, on Ebay.

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.
