Here is a cool picture of the graphic that I think is going to be very hard to have duplicated if I decided to get this machine restored, though I was thinking maybe I will just repaint the red part of the machine, aka the bottom.... and leave the graphic original..

k - laters

Take a really good photo of it and take it to a local vinyl sign shop. they will be able to scan it and cut you a new one out of vinyl. You will be supprised how good they are.

I'm thinking of not only taking good pictures of it, but taking tracing paper and tracing it out, since its on both sides of the machine.  And I'm going to measure the heck out of it, I might see if I can have the vinyl shop make a reverse of it so I can stick it on the machine, seeing as your idea to get it made in vinyl makes sense.  Why not do a reverse vinly of it, then paint the machine then peel the reverse off...  Hmmm now you got the wheels turning in my head how to replicate this..

k - I love this board

Myself I live in a small town in midwest Ontario.. I'm only sort of Canadian myself.. moved here from Australia last year..

I only own one machine myself, a small cornelius pepsi squaretop (only like 4'8" tall).
