I apologize to the purists out there, but I had to give it a little something. Embossed OC 55, finally done.

       Looks wonderful to me, what is not original?    Hard to believe this same machine!

I think James is possibly referring to the later model decal on the side loading door. I may be wrong...or maybe it's supposed to have a low boy frankenstein mech instead of a tall boy mech? either way...looks real nice!

Think he means the shadowing on the lettering?

Either way it looks great, congrats

Looks Great, I would say even for the Purist, it looks sooo much better than the original white only logo.
is it hand painted?  it should be how all get restored! IMO :happydrinkers:

would love to see a Higher resolution of the lettering? any way you can make it bigger or send me  Hi res photo and I can post it for you

All my machines are hand lettered. This one was the biggest challenge yet as the embossing makes it difficult to shade

Looks great! I think anyone would be proud to have in their collection!

I agree, can you post a good pic of just the lettering / embossed area?

Here is a close up of mine. That smudge next to the "K" in DRINK is not a paint flaw. It's a reflection or some weird pixillation (as that even a word?) in the photo.

This was hand lettered, and Crushy was airbrushed.
