Well Steve, I'm not sure you are aware of this, but that
Cavalier machine you have is a very desireable model. It
will dispense cans as easily as bottles.
Removing that wood grain and painting would increase
it's desireability too.

How do I go about removing the wood grain? I didnt like it at first but it grew on me. My neighbor threw this machine out. When I was loading it into my truck he looked at me like I was crazy. It worked fine and is currently full of beer ( bottles and cans), water ( bottles) , and diet coke ( cans). I plan to take it apart one day and give it a good cleaning so maybe I will have it painted also

A heat gun or a hair dryer will loosen the vinyl and just pull it off. Then use some adhesive remover to take what adhesive it leaves behind.

yep it is either white or black. Open your coin door what ever the color is on the back of the door it will be that color under the vinyl. It is not easy to get off. Just be patient. It is really brittle stuff. It will break a bunch of times. After looking at your machine again it is white under the vinyl.

ok I took off the wood grain. It came off easy. Now the machine looks more vintage. Tomorrow I am going to switch the door out with my other calavier machine to add some red to the white. What do you think?

I tried that once. It looked off. The one square red pannel on the from looked weird. that is just my opinion. It is easy to do so it is worth trying to see if you like it. You said you have a red door from another cavalier. What model is it? If it is a CSS 64 only the G model will fit. Just to save you some time.

I just tried it and I liked the look however I didnt like having a white door on my black and red css-64. If I can find a red door forsale I will swap it out but for now the white will do. Thanks for the tip on the wood grain removal, my machine great. I will post a pic soon

Now that the wood grain is removed, a little prep-work
and paint and it will look good. Also it's good practice for that
restoration that will be comming your way shortly.
