Going to be my summer project. Haven't seen it in person yet but looks to need a lot of TLC. Might clean up nice, just have to wait and see.

I think the cherry on the bib is a little upside down .... I think .... but sometimes my thinker has been broken.

Hopefully this will stay All Original. :D
The upside-down cherries on the bib is an easy fix! I'll do it for free!
Be sure and send pix, when it is done.

No ultra rare golden nugget happening here. If it can't be kept in nice original condition it will redone like this 5 cent one that I done before. I know the mech does not function right, and I'm not sure about the conditions of the wood and the castings. The upside down cherry, who knows how that happened. The machine does look mostly original from the pictures that I have so I just don"t know about the the cherry unless the payout bib was replaced at some time.

Got it done. Was able to save the original front payout bib. A little marked up but not to bad. Better than a repo. Sorry to disappoint all those expecting to see a Golden Nugget.

Your hammertone silver came out nice. Could I ask what brand of hammer paint did you use? My latest use of Rustoleum Hammer has been less than good.

Thanks,
