I finally finished my 81D restoration.  I never would have been able to do it without the help from so many here.
Thanks!!!

Looks very nice!

One question though, did you instruct the painter to paint inside the coin door and the lower inside panel on the cabinet door...?

I see what you mean.
No I didn't.  In hindsight I probably should have.

Good point.  My solution---I will have my wife load the machine with beer so I only need to see the outside.

Thanks for all the compliments.  It is obvious that it was my first machine.

Nice job.... congrats on your first.
Is restoring your first machine as addictive as they say it is?

       Not a big problem, you should be able to have that color mixed and filled into an aerosol spray can.  Pretty nice machine for a first time restoration.
