Quoted from gdonovan:I have a 1969 Moon Shot, not chrome. Silverish finish but not super bright.
I see, like the coin door? Looks like equivalent to something like silver hammered finish. I got some spares I can play with. Thank you!
Quoted from jeffc:Re: length - do you have a manual?

I don’t, thank you I’ll grab one. just started into my first CC..
I found a shirt press and decided to experiment with a piece of plastic i wasn’t sure could be saved. It’s for gun smoke.
I soaked the plastic in warm water for a few minutes, wiped it down and zip locked it for days to allow some absorption into the brittle plastic.
Warmed the press to 175F
I Used card stock paper with parchment paper protecting plastic and the base of the press has some flex to it.
Screw twisted the press down and close to the plastic, every two minutes twisted it down to let the plastic warm up, I did this 5 times slowly twisting it down closer and slowly compressing it.
Finally pulled back some on the screw twist part a bit and locked it down, shutting it off and letting it cool down.
Whew I wasn’t entirely sure the painted side would survive so I went with as low of a heat setting as I could go!
I haven’t patched it yet but I’m happy to have discovered a new tools!
