I posted a question about what this was in the Vintage section and got some really good info. I wanted to go more in depth with it and figured it shouldn't be in the Vintage section. After reading, I am amazed at how uncommon these things are. Mine changes quarters to nickles. I found where I can get some replacement parts (not cheap) in the links that were given to me.

All of the pictures I was seeing showed the machine in red. Sure enough, when I opened it up the inside was red! Someone painted it black. So on to my questions
:
What do you think is the best way to get the black paint off of the outside?

The chrome parts do have screws holding them in place so I can remove them. What is the best way for me to shine up the chrome parts?

And, I'm not sure what to do with the handle...any ideas?Change Machine1.jpg


I guess I'll get to the inside parts. I don't have a clue there.
