Title: KEENE COFFE RESTORED!
Post by: memorylane on July 23, 2009, 02:36:11 pm
Well here it is, the Keene Coffee Machine I got from Loyd at CoinOp Warehouse, this was a 6 week restoration Myself and Steve just completed and will be on it's way to the WOLF Collection, (Jeff wolf) on Monday. I hope you like it Jeff. I had to think on this one but I like the Theme and colors I used, it looks great! I love this machine.

My guess would be coffee stirrers.
Nice job Curtis and Steve! Looks great! Jeff - watch out for the Howard Johnson' police!

One side is for Cups to drop down and the other side was for change. Theres only one Howard Johnson's left in opperation. The Howard Johnson's Hotels are another company.

When I saw the original pic from Jeff, I wasn't sure if I would like it.  I really like machines that are less flashy.  Just the basic original paint styles for me, but I have to admit that the triangular blue mixed with the oarnge really brought out the chrome pieces and enhanced the machine.  Very sharp looking.  I give it four cool marks. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Does anyone know of another one of these? I love that "Coffee" script on an angle. Graet job Curtis. I like the theme also.

This is the first Keene I have ever seen and would love to find a few more as well. The chrome was done by Jeff's Chrome person, Outstanding job on the chrome work! Best I have ever seen, not cheep but if you want the best. Again thanks for all the kind words, I'll pass them along to Steve as he was as much a part of this restoration as me, we make a good team we have 9 machines in the works that are sold and 4 to get started on , so having that extra person is nice. Lots of cool pixs to come as we finish. Thanks so much.

Once again, outstanding,,, really looks awesome.. Cool to have someone to work with that is as passionate about it as well, like Steve.  That would be so fun to have someone to help and bounce ideas off of as you work along.
Looks great!

Wow, I didn't realize that machine was that small until that picture with someone standing next to it for reference. That really came out sweet.
