    Quoted from dr_nybble:

    70s Williams door, was pretty scratched up before
    [quoted image]

    This is from a Williams Space Mission. It looks very similar to yours. At some point I started to think of the little scratches as character.

    Quoted from dr_nybble:

    Wow the inside of your door looks pristine. Did you replate the parts or zinc paint them? My coin door internals have lots of plating loss.

    I disassembled everything, removed the rust, tumbled and then painted.

    Quoted from mof:

    Ok I'll play...
    This was my first ever FULL tear down, with no re-paint. Just an attempt to de-rust, clean, flatten, and re-grain. I did "good enough!"

    That door deserves a repainted cabinet.

    I purchased a new door from PBR for my 1959 Around the World pin and then cleaned, polished or painted the other parts.
