Title: Hammertoned My King Pin
Post by: Extra Ball on June 07, 2009, 05:17:41 PM
The front door, and coin plate on King Pin was pretty rusty. Spent the afternoon removing rust, and doing the hammertone thing. First time I have used this stuff, and am pretty impressed. As you can see I am missing one Pricing Insert plastics, if anyone can spare me one pls let me know (doesnt matter if its a little different). I have basically spent the weekend fiddling with pins, and have enjoyed it.  *%*

Nice work!

Are you going to do the legs or are they chrome standard?

Here greg its for french coins (10c sized though)  Better than nothing PM me your address and ill get it in the mail.   If you remove your other one and scan it.  Print it out onto some paper and sandwich it in between the Coin Entrance Plate and the clear plastic im sending with it should look ok.     Might even pay to sand off the french crap if you have the patience
