Title: Finished up my Stoner Jr and added it the gameroom... Post by: SIGNGUY on January 26, 2015, 05:38:47 pm I've been working on a Stoner Jr. For myself and was going to keep the original Gold Hammered paint, but it was just a little too far gone to display as is.. so I decided to restore the whole thing. I tried to clean of the marks and the top had some pretty good rust areas and just overall, just not a clean enough original to bring into the house... I just got it back from paint around the Holidays but just got it together and into the game room this weekend.
I ended up lighting up the selection area with LED Tape lights I bought online... turned out pretty cool... Haven't filled it yet.. Color is close to a Dr. Pepper Green... thought it looked pretty cool and 50's type color.... The insides are nice and clean and I did not restore the vending mechanism... First picture was original.. then others after restoration. Title: Re: Finished up my Stoner Jr and added it the gameroom... Post by: Jared on January 26, 2015, 06:05:08 pm Looks awesome great color

Title: Re: Finished up my Stoner Jr and added it the gameroom... Post by: SIGNGUY on January 27, 2015, 09:46:11 am Thanks all,
The LED lights are available everywhere now. I ended up buying mine through an online company called LED World Lighting.com.. but now I see them all over the place now.. fairly inexpensive too and easy to use.

We have LED for our under cabinet lighting in the kitchen - a lot of bright light for a little energy! Title: Re: Finished up my Stoner Jr and added it the gameroom... Post by: jholmgren on January 27, 2015, 01:44:40 pm LED's are the best! I just installed some in the trunk of my spitfire. Totally hidden from view, but now I can find stuff in the (*cough* Unlikely) event that I break down.
