Hello Everyone,
Charlie here from C&A Slot restorations. I have a simple question. I recently acquired a Horsehead Bonus for my personal collection. It totally needs a restore and new paint...plays perfectly.
With the business (C&A Slot Restoration) we try to stick to original paint schemes for our customers, but if the customer wants something different, we have no problem doing that as well.
Since this is my machine and not a customers, I want to paint it with original paint. I love the one Dave has on the Youtube video, (brown with creamy white), but he is pretty sure that is not original. It appears that the original color was brown with bright green (jockey horse racing look) on the front ribbon. I , as well as Dave, think that is ugly.
I have restored one machine for a customer that is Blue with red ribbon (customer request), but I was wondering if anyone knew of any other paint schemes mills might have used.
Thanks,
Charlie
