Almost completed Apollo 6

[Tom]

I have almost completed the table rehab. Thanks Stephen for the RV trim idea to cover the rail bolts, it worked quite well and was very minimal cost. The 4 top corner chrome pieces were re-plated by JR Custom Plating (www.jrcustomplating.com) which really looks great. And the new green installed by Justin (www.cjbilliards.com) gave it a brand new look. I am still trying to find a 2 quarter horizontal coin-op to finish it. I have a few leads to run down yet. I also did not have a key for the money box, so I took the ball retention unit to a locksmith who made a key for it in about 10 minutes. Thanks for everyone’s input and help. And thanks again Stephen for creating the website so I have the history and stories to tell about the table to friends & family. Attached is before & after pictures.

Wow… looking great. Anybody would love to have a table like that in their playroom. Nice job!

I just found a cashbox article on IK from October 1964 here’s a link

where did you find the rv trim for the bolt rails. Also did you find a coin op.

[Tom]

The RV trim was from the local RV dealer. It was just over $8 for a 25ft roll. It comes in a couple of different sizes & colors. I did find a coin op from Total Recreation which sells & repairs amusement games for businesses. It wasn’t the original 2 quarter horizontal I was hoping to get though. I tried several different leads but settled for a vertical one.

Can I ask you for a picture of the back of the door. On mine, I have 1 rod the locks to the left hand side. Nothing on the right. I cant imagine that the door only had 1 rod. Thanks for the info on the trim.. Looks great. If your interested, I have a spare horizontal coin mech. I just purchased a parts table and removed and kept everything. Laminate on the sides was really rough. Thanks MIke

Attached are the pictures you requested. I would be interested in the coin-op. What are you asking for it?

Thank you for the pix! Is this what you need? If so, you can have it! Just pay for shipping. Does that work? Thanks MIke

Yes I would, please estimate shipping charges (St Cloud, MN 56304) and we can set up a payment & you can ship after receiving payment.

[Michael Misiak]

Will do. Any chance you can throw a tape measure across the rod that locks from the cam to the bottom of the coin op, and take a pic. That is the rod I am missing. Will have to try to make one. Just trying to figure out where exactly to place the bends. Thanks

[Tom]

If you need anymore, let me know.

[Tom]

Your welcome, glad I could help.I’ll take the coin-op, how to you prefer payment?

[Michael Misiak]

Check in fine. Trying to figure out how to swap info without putting our Names and address on for the world to see.

[Tom]

Never thought of that, maybe someone on the forum has a suggestion?
