Title: Cubs theme VF56C-F Post by: autobon7 on August 28, 2016, 05:50:54 pm A friend of mine just finished this cool project.......his 1st ever machine. Btw.....when searching for VF56C-F you would think this machine came from area 51 because I cannot find anything on it.

I have same base machine. Not much love for them. Trend pretty quick was towards larger light up signs. Creighton Title: Re: Cubs theme VF56C-F Post by: Larry on August 29, 2016, 06:31:17 am Looks nice! I like the grout in the "355." Nicely done. GO CUBS!!!!

Do you need a bottle door? Title: Re: Cubs theme VF56C-F Post by: autobon7 on August 29, 2016, 12:42:37 pm Nice! Do you need a bottle door? [/quote He has the door. ...just wasn't installed when he took the picture. He does need a lock though Title: Re: Cubs theme VF56C-F Post by: HowDueYouDue on August 30, 2016, 02:08:08 pm Very well done
Title: Re: Cubs theme VF56C-F Post by: Creighton on August 31, 2016, 01:10:49 am Just goes to show don't ignore the "nothin specials". May be easier to do something cool rather than part them out. Made a path to mine. It was part of a lot so free at this point. Not a thing wrong with the construction. Pics when the sun comes up.
Great save on that one. What is "355"? Thanks! Creighton Title: Re: Cubs theme VF56C-F Post by: halehouse on August 31, 2016, 07:10:57 am Just goes to show don't ignore the "nothin specials".

Like seeing someone take a less that exciting machine, and make something unique.
The long horizontal slot in the coin door, at the top of the [C]ubs, was that for a mech handle? :wow: |
