Watling Buckley revamp

Here is an as-found Buckley revamp;
All I've done is add the repro eagle and the denomination button (just because I had them).
I can't believe it left Buckley looking like this and would like to return to the revamp look.
There is no trace of paint to the lower front castings along side the JP.
Does anyone have a photo of what a Buckley revamp is supposed to look like (if they had any standard at all)?

Kudos to slotdynasty for coming up with a photo of what this machine is supposed to look like.
That is really a nice subdued look! (which I much prefer over the flashy incorrect restorations that are often seen on these machines)
Your depth and range of knowledge never ceases to amaze me!

I don't know the story behind this slot, but clearly it got an amateur do-over at some point.
I hope to restore its dignity; yes the yellow paint has got to go!

Thanks again, Bill.
