A friend of mine just finished this cool project.......his 1st ever machine. Btw.....when searching for VF56C-F you would think this machine came from area 51 because I cannot find anything on it.

Looks Great !! That is from a lifelong Cards fan :-)
I have same base machine. Not much love for them.
Trend pretty quick was towards larger light up signs.

       Here is an example of the 56 he started with.  Your friend made a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Just goes to show don't ignore the "nothin specials". May be easier to do something cool rather than part them out. Made a path to mine. It was part of a lot so free at this point. Not a thing wrong with the construction. Pics when the sun comes up.

Great save on that one.

What is "355"?

Thanks!

355 is the distance to the left field wall.

Cool theme!

Not really a Baseball fan, but I love the creativity! Like seeing someone take a less that exciting machine, and make something unique.

The long horizontal slot in the coin door, at the top of the [C]ubs, was that for a mech handle?   wow
