I have had a fun night tonight breaking down the Double Nugget gumball machine I got a week ago. I got my machine back from my locksmith today with new keys and couldnt wait to open it up. I took it all apart tonight and cleaned it top to bottom. Will be painting the faceplates back to the original black with red highlights for the "1 cent" and arrow. What a great machine! i included the "before" photo on the far right. Can't wait to get this finished!
