Title: 7up 33 RESTORED
Post by: BONOVOX on February 23, 2017, 01:26:02 pm
So I had a friend of mine locally restore my 7up 33 machine last year, (he does an AWESOME job)  and then I had it sitting in the garage waiting to get the embossed logo painted.
I FINALLY had some time to bring it to a pinstriper I found one (tough to find a good one) in Buffalo of all places.

Picking up the machine tomorrow from him, as the green paint is drying as I write this.

Will post the entire machine tomorrow to share.

So I picked up the machine today, and it looks great!
I still have to put the side decals on, as well as the coin door gasket.

But I cant wait to show you all.

Below are the before and after of the compressor.  It looks like the day it came off the line!!

Here is the picture of the machine before getting it restored.
I couldn't find my pictures of the machine, so I dug up the original sellers pictures of it.

I had the machine stipped down and then acid dipped before getting it painted.

The original L.A. bottling tag was also restored and placed back on the machine.

Nice little touch I thought.
