Around the World
Gottlieb, 1959At the beginning of my project I ordered new cigarette holders for my Around the World pin. I had to replace the wood side rails and now I’m not sure if I like the look with the cigarette holders. What do you think? Yes or no.

Quoted from PappaDubz:I say yes but put a no smoking sign next to it
And/or you can put some of these on the holders (or on the rails if you decide not to install the holders).

Heck yes! I go to the extreme of using the original, often corroded ones.
They are a reflection of the machines history.
I'm on the fence with this one Jeff. I know it's part of the machines history but I like the look of bare wood and it's far easier to polish when nothings in the way, but yeah, I'd have to agree with everyone else and say yes, put em back on.
Quoted from P2K:Yes, put them on.
At one of the TPF shows I put a fake cigarette in the holder and it was interesting to see people stop and do a double take when walking by!
I even put them on my R&B tribute game.

I hope mine comes out close to yours. It looks great.
