Yes couldn't be to many left.

     Roger from crow river trading sells the decals and was nice enough to modify them from 1 cent to 1 penny to suit my Aussie coin entry which was great. 

   Ill dig them out and post a photo I can't wait to stick them to the freshly painted case

Yes I couldn't believe my luck with the decals then the bloke selling them went to the effort to change the. To suit my machine I couldn't believe it.  Here is someone else's restored machine

A huge huge thank you to Eltimbo and Stewie I got my freshly painted casing and rechromed handle and coin insert back today was to nervous to hand my irreplaceable parts to someone i don't know so Tim sent them to his regular chrome plater everything came back and looks great.  And Stewart has done an amazing job respraying the casing I  have him some basic instructions I want it to loo like something from 1930 and the color he chose POW COULDNT have chosen a better red....

Here is a photo of the Unit test assembled with the decals fitted sadly couldn't finish it it needs some extra strengthening brackets on the handle from the inside but not to far away from being finished


Don't ask to see the other side I slipped with the decal and completely stuffed it.   Hopefully the guy does single replacement not just complete sets
