Terry,
Very cool job!  One question - Is that the original coin mech or one of those repop ones from Home Arcade?   Sweet restoration!

Correct me if I am wrong but that is a Canadian large door coin mech. Or at least that is mostly what I have seen them on. They were also commonly used on transitions square tops.

Josh is right, the coin mech. is the original canadian version. Works really well!! The inside was finished in Hammertone. This one belongs to a client, I currently have 5 V44's. :)

Bought a few from a guy in Canada a while back. I found his ad when I was working in Alberta, Edmondton on a start up project. :)

I am currently restoring a couple of 33's for a client, then a square top for Petey. I have several client restorations on the books but I am hoping to squeeze in my stoner jr and Glasco 400 cup despenser in the near future. Its been awhile since I have been able to work on my stuff. :D
