If your Formica is banged up and you want to make it look as good as all that new chrome, Call Barry Fox.
He has original Formica for refinishing these cabinets. It's pre-cut over sized so you won't have to deal with big sheets.

Mines actually in good shape surprisingly. There's one small chip that I barely notice on the top by the feature unit. The sides look really good. I seen those in his store thanks for the tip though if you come across a continental manual I would be doing flips!

Actually I retract my previous statement that mines ok after inspecting it this piece in the front looks like it is one section therefore could replace it like you said if he sells this part too? Wow thanks man I hadn't noticed that I thought they only sold the sides this.

* this part is pretty banged up and would be great to replace since its right in the front and it has a scab and jagged edges at the top. Thanks for the tip!

Since chrome out here is ridiculously priced. $750 for front door pieces. Wow. I began removing the surface rust and using chrome polish to clean up the parts. It's working good. The reel window looks way better without the rust that builds up in the lines on the bottom. Ill post a pic of it after I polish it

I have used "Soft Scrub" a non abrasive cleanser to clean up the chrome. Works great!

I've heard of that before. This guy today was talking about CLR. I got some even finer steel wool to go over it with again. I want to get a polishing attachment for the drill and give that a try too

The bolts that hold the coin tray on are so rusted most of them broke off in the holes. A machine shop wants. "$100-200" to remove them. I found a coin tray on eBay for $3.99+$11.99 shipping that looks pretty good for being the only one on there

To re-drill 5-6 holes and re-thread them??  That is highway robbery.

I noticed your photo of the dismantled and now empty slot machine case. I hope you remember how to put it all back together again.

Haha me too! I took alot of pictures when I took it apart and put all the parts and bolts in plastic ziplock pouches. I have a manual with diagrams of the door assembly and the other parts. I want to replace all of the screws to the front door they are mostly all in really bad shape. I'm sure it is going to take some time putting it back together.

There was a thread here within the past year about repairing the gold paint..

I decided to start putting it back together this weekend. I cleaned the metal up as best I could and changed all the bulbs out. I still need to re wire the belly glass light unit and paint the bottom edge you can see because it was so eaten up I had to put a thin layer of bondo on it and am going to paint it since i haven't found a replacement. I'm also waiting on my coin tray.

Sometimes all we got is Bondo ... and later on down the road, we find the part we need. Dont hunt it down ... it will find you when the time is right. Hunting it down can rent too much space in your head.  Silly Me!

Wow your the second person I've EVER heard say that! My mother (bless her heart) would say not to let someone rent space in your head. I understand what that means completely I've tried telling my wife that when something is bothering her. Wise words. I have alot of other things to work on this in the meantime till the parts I want come along. I need to fix the reels and figure out why some sumbols are not stopping on the pay line. Get the step up unit to work and the payouts to work. I'm glad I got a lot of experience taking this apart and putting it back together. Hope your weekend is good Dave I'm waiting for breaking bad to start today!

I found a posting about the reels it said that the biggest cut on the discs should be in the wiper arm for the biggest payout. On my machine it is the triple bar. I adjusted mine this way however one of my reels doesn't line up on any combination it is slightly off. Should I remove the reel strip on that reel to fix the problem?
