This shows the slot machine cabinet, the polished castings clear coated, less mechanism, sitting on newly created stand for it.
There is a top, bottom and a separate coin cup casting, all aluminum
The glass window and glass lens were also removed , cleaned and re-installed
The door for the stand is a project on it's own, requiring stained glass work, which will come later.
The handle, coin chute, card frame and rear coin chute parts have been re-plated, yet to be installed with the exception of the card frame.
The new aluminum claw feet are installed on the stand
The stand is made from red oak plywood with solid red oak trim.
The bottom trim detail was done with a router table. Red oak is a tough wood
New locks have been obtained and installed on the slot cabinet including a cash box door, which was also missing.
Things left to be done:
Create stained glass panel for door.

Stain and finish cabinet
Replace parts on mechanism and final check on operation
Mount mechanism in cabinet.
Paint some details on casting, date, owl etc.
