Just sharing a couple of photos of a newly completed restoration...
I have to say, the guy I found to air-brush the cabinet door panel did an outstanding job ! ! !
I reviewed his portfolio before hiring him and was blown away with the quality of his workmanship ! ! !

Wow !!!!!
Very nice. The artwork is awesome, and the mech and vending rack is a work of art on its own.
Outstanding job Jim.

Jim,
Is The mechanism re-plated or is it powder coated?
(Or both)

Combination of both, but mostly zinc plated. The magazine assembly, the shift magazines, match columns, and couple cross brace parts/brackets have been powder-coated.  The coin mech was completely dis-assembled into parts and zinc plated prior to re-assembly...
