Buyer was interested in purchasing the machine "as is", but hired me to do the cabinet restoration and install the newly purchased pilasters.
A glass dome had been purchased at Chicagoland a few years ago and had been stored, along with the machine ever since. The dome was transferred to the frame and as it was being set into place, cracked. A plastic dome was installed in its place.
