     Looks so complete now, good job.

     It's time to fill it with beer, and patiently wait for the next machine to show up in your driveway.  happydrinkers

Glad you decided to do a major clean up instead of a complete restoration.  I think it looks great and still maintains that vintage look that you lose with a complete restore. Nice job.

Thank Ya'll for the complements....I need to order a lock/key combo and straighten the coin door out some...Other than that it's about done.

Free vend is setup on the return coin button and works well.

I'm keeping my eye out for the next great bargin....I have less than $200 in the 80 as it sits.  Prolly won't find another deal on a working machine that good but U never know.

I may look at getting an old gumball machine to re-do next.....?

I really like those metal panels around the coin door. They look really nice
