If I was paying $3000 for a restoration the quality should be better than pretty good.
I quit watching the show... haven't seen it in months... I'd rather watch Rod, John and
others here post images of what they are working on and the different stages they are in.
I learn more.

I will second that Brian and agree with you Eric

A couple of things I noticed lacking detail was the vending stacks, and lift gates.  The kick plates, and a few other small details.
 At the volume they restore I imagine those small details probably aren't a concern.
That what make a Restoration the detail , if your skipping on that what are you not seeing that was not done  ( Maybe no insulation in the the machine  oops can say any more oh. )
 you have to pay attention to the detail.  at least  that what I think.

       I agree, and while on that subject.....there are at least 5 things on this older restoration that bother me. Anyone else notice them?

Leaving the pricing out of it with these shows, the stuff they come across and display or talk about is pretty cool. My kids actually set the dvr to record Pickers, Pawn Stars, Ricks, and a new show called Junkies.. My 13 year old son took it upon himself to rip into one of my gumball machines and he is going to restore it. He dismantled the whole machine, dismantled the base, cleaned it and painted it already. One gumball machine is already disassembled waiting for a new globe and lock. The key broke, so I have to drill the other lock out for him. When he is done with these, he is already eyeing my U-select it machine.

I like this game. Its like a where's waldo of coke machines Smiley The "Have a coke" decals on the bottle gares should only be on the top few not on all of them, Yes the Ice cold below the bottle door is VERY crooked, Original wiring with overspray on it, Original discolored breaker strips, Compressor overload/wire cover falling off, Rust showing through the compressor deck's spray paint job. Who would use that many decals on a machine. That is hideous looking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
