Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share a few photos of my recently completed restoration on my V-81B.
I have owned this machine more than 20 yrs. and finally decided to restore it and enjoy ! ! !
What is unique is the "small door" changer; it's a nickel mech that returns a nickel when a dime is deposited.
I placed the photos in the SMC Photo Gallery under JB Restoration

I'll be finishing up a Stoner Junior early next month, so stay tuned...

Great Job Jim,
Incredible attention to detail too... Love it.

It's those small details like the Rubber Grommeted Wire tires and the Instruction decals that make a Great restoration over a good restoration..

Great job!, Enjoy!

Looks incredible Jim!
I agree with John....great attention to the details! Yes - where did you get the CC Abuse decal?
Nice job on the coin changer as well....I guess Janet found the sheet of SD Changer Instructional Foil-Cals or did you have some made?
Kudos!
