But where do you get the rivets? The ones used aren't actually rivets, they're snaps. |

Wasn't Rich planning on including something ? I don't remember it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long ago.... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( |

I emailed a bunch of rivet distributors and didn't have much success finding a good rivet match. I've also emailed Rich a total of about 3 times about that Midway plate that he keeps teasing us all with.. I hope it comes out soon too. I'm to the point where it's time to give in too and get the yucky one. -csa |

I thought I would post this anyway. The door and frame were powder coated with black wrinkle finish and the coin shoots were done in what they called chrome but it's much more like silver. The Midway plate was taken off and had several spots where the black paint was worn off so I masked off one area at a time and sprayed them with new black paint. It didn't come out perfect but it looks much better than it did. The rivets are fake. They are some kind of little craft rivet that you split after putting them through. But they look decent. It has a new lock, the 25 cent plexi pieces are original just cleaned up nice and the coin return plungers are original just cleaned up. While not looking 100% original I think it looks good.
