Quoted from BlackCatBone:

Terry -
Were you able to get the button rings off the front of the cabinet without damaging the rings or destroying the nails that hold the rings in place? I find that it's murder to get those twist nails to come out cleanly. I recently needed some nails and wound up destroying the plate they were holding while extracting the nails. (It was a parts game, but it still didn't feel good to ruin the plate.) If you've got a technique, I'd love to hear it.

If you are talking about the white, red, yellow and blue button rings, they are held on with a threaded screw with a nut on the back side of the door. Not nails like the front rail buttons.

OP
Quoted from Terry1:

Dennis, you are right on about the button bezels.
But, my coin return plate, was held on with nails!
BTW, did you notice my post about rubber kits.
I am not impressed with the set got recently,
in particular the plunger tip and the big round rebound!

I agree with Nick. Except for the part about the 14th game. I think he might be a little conservative there.

Quoted from bingopodcast:

That's what I said back when I got my first bingo too!

Ditto. When we decided to move from our first home, I went straight to the basements of every home we looked at. THAT was the priority with me.

Ha!
I have been blessed with a wonderful, understanding wife.
43 right now. 37 in my permanent collection. Nick has three times that!
There are only a few more that I am looking for.
I think Bingo Butch has the most complete bingo collection. At least in the U.S. Maybe the world.

Some color comparison pics from 2 I have

I've always liked this re-paint from Phil's site. Whoever did this restore did an amazing job! There are two other photos of this game on the site. Good luck!

Quoted from Terry1:

Well I finally decided on my blue base color.
Behr, Tropical Tide(520D 5), satin finish!
The orange/sand color is Sherwin-Williams Harvest Gold(SW 2858)
The green will be easy to pick!
Here are a few shots so far in my process.

Nice job!

Quoted from Terry1:

Well, here she be.
I haven't got the side rails polished yet so they are not on.
I don't mind the look with out them.
I still have a few minor issues with the machine, internally,
like shutting the back door causing a problem, but I just wanted
to get the machine in position and start playing it.
Thanks to every one and don't go to far, just in case!!!
If any one is interested
The blue is = Behr Tropical Tide 520D - 5
The green is = CIL Emerald Leaf 70 GY
The sand is = SW Harvest Gold 2858
