Does anyone have or know where I can get a rewards card for this machine.
The background is blue, I would accept a repo stainless steel one.

might be a little tough to find that P.O. card, not impossible or more money. Mrslot1 might have one. then do pop up on e-ban from time to time. or someone here may have one.

when you get it restored, be sure to post a "after" photo here.

If that card is etched it can be repainted. I've done a few. I used a silver paint on it and then repainted the symbols.

Its painted metal only. Where would you get a stencil for the symbols?

When you restore a slot, do you use the same square head nuts and old screws or new modern ones? Some of mine are rusted and stripped and the round head bolts are all rusted. It seems that all the rust is on the bottom 1/10 of the machine.

Do you have the missing boards from the bottom of the cabinet? If so ... use a steel wire brush to clean both sides and use a 2 part epoxy and pipe clamps to restore them to original shape. You also have to rejoin them to the sides at the same time. Then you can strip the cabinet and repaint the cabinet to the original colors.
Feel free to PM me if you need more extensive help and I will give you my direct contact info. I am in West Philly PA

Here is whats left of the bottom board. I'm not sure if its complete or not.
I have a lot of rough saw'n oak. I was thinking of making a new one.
Are they 1 piece or 2 or more normally?

I could do it in 1 I believe.
