Just thought I would get some opinions out there about my Vendo 39.  It is the nicest origianl machine I own.  I was going to restore it but now I have second thoughts.  Any ideas?  I have plenty of other stuff I could work on. My  Seeburg HF100R is more difficult then I thought it would be.

From the looks of it in the pics, I would vote to leave it as it is. I don't see anything that warrants restoration. It looks great

Leave it... Looks like it would be hard to improve?

I vote to leave it as is - it is only original once and will only increase in value.

Are you kidding?! Leave it as is... How nice (and rare) to find one in that kind of shape.
A Classic! '<img'>

WOW!  
 That looks like it was hardly ever used.  There is one thing about an original that good, the're hard to perfect.

Nice machine.

Thanks for the advise.  It will stay original.  

ps  I don't feel the same way about the Motts machine.  The restoration is almost complete.
