It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up I also subscribed to your channel

My late grandfather, who drove truck for Texaco, brought all of the toys home for my uncle. Two generations of our family played with them. Thank you for the memories.

Nice! I’m reminded of the ones in the grocery store that had little plastic capsules with a toy or trinket inside. The capsules wouldn’t pass a choking hazard test, but they made great stocking stuffers for Christmas.

Looks great ❤

Great restoration..well done

Well done sir! I'm starting to learn about sand blasting...I noticed you did the small pieces but used a wire brush for the rest. Was that because certain metals shouldn't be blasted, size issue or were you just showing multiple ways to clean it up? Dominic Chineas from the tv show "the repair shop" does an experiment with electrolysis to remove rust. I wonder if that would assist with you removing the post easier. You certainly persevered! In the end it turned out great! Where did you get the replacement gasket?

simply brilliant

Coin assembly and dispenser flap were either nickel chrome plated. Could have used some automotive filler on the gouge on the top.

Nice job. Originally the Oak Acorns were finished in a hammertone paint. Also the handle assembly and dispensing door were chrome or nickel plated.

When I was a little girl (and, yes, I can remember back that far), I got gumballs from a machine just like this at the grocery store. It was such a nice treat after dealing with aisle after aisle of waiting for Mom to make a decision about what to get!

Base design is absolutely not Art Deco.

Maybe one day you’ll be grown up enough to restore every square inch of a project like all the other REAL restoration channels.

Aaawww man!!! The old acorn bubble gum machine !!! I remember these back in my day. Late 60s early 70s. The small local grocer had one, but also beside the gum it had small trinkets that maybe you would get with the gum. But sometimes...you put your money in,and nothing would come out. 😅😅 aahhh the good old days😊

Del 1960? Chissà quanti bambini hanno stressato genitori o nonni passando davanti al distributore e chissà dove sono adesso questi bambini, oramai cresciuti, che un tempo giravano la manopola con le loro manine <3

Did you replace the 1¢ sticker in the glass? The final shot makes it look like there's a sticker without holes and wear & tear.

Bravo! So nice to see someone really restore an old thing rather than "restore" it into some paisley-painted thing that never was.

Nice job!

Awesome job on the gumball machine.

I find it hard to believe that anyone but the manufacturer made money off these things. I wonder what they cost new. Must have taken many years to turn a profit.

First time I've seen one restored with its stand. Outstanding job!

sweeeeet... xxc

Great restoration 👍👍

Beautiful restoration job you did on the gumball machine. It looks much better than before and it works like a charm too. Excellent work as usual.

The skillful hands of an artist!

They look great!

Nicely done, I like wood handled screwdrivers

Very Nice 🪛🪛🪛

Thanks so much loved your process learned a lot.

I can relate to gorgeous-er, its like, more better only gooder !!🙄😏😜. All seriousness though, excellent restoration/ refurbishment. Like the process, thanks for video, enjoyed watching.

Beautifully executed. Until about 6 months ago. I bought a couple of old ones in an antique shop and restored them and have been hooked ever since. So far i have restored 20 or more and just keep looking for more weekly! I don’t buy anything but old USA made drivers to restore myself. I dont see the imports as worth the effort. I go past the local Re-store about once a week which is where almost all of mine have come from. Some get a natural wood finish, while others that were originally painted get repainted. Very gratifying giving them a new lease on life. At the Re-store i pay about a quarter or 50 cents each for them. I had tons of great quality screwdrivers before starting this, but there is just something so different about these old wood drivers once restored. Plus, I have so little money invested in the whole pile that i have no regrets about my recent passion for restlring them. Thanks for sharing, well done sir.

Very nice work !! I like the Blue on the inside and the gold Hardware it finishes it off nicely !! 👍👍

Hi, your channel is really amazing and this video is great :) We are a brand of power tool accessories and want to collaborate with you! How could we get in touch by email, if you are interested?

Beautiful restoration the green looks great thanks for sharing your expertise.

Nice fan to restore looking forward to part 2.

Very nice restoration !! And the shelf for it is a nice touch !!! 👍👍

Very nice work so far can't wait for the next video to see how it comes out !! 👍👍

More to a restoration of the truck than meets the eye, like what I’m seeing to this point, coming out well, thanks for sharing, enjoying the restoration.

Its the abrasiveness that makes it shine , not the oxalic acid in Barkeepers friend

All of the stains/oils look good to me. Much better than the black paint.

Those birds are hard to come by. Bought one at Trade Day 75$..needs some castiron welding. Thats slow but can be done.

Excellent tutorial

I've got similar in my garage. It's nice making them look good again,isnt it? Ready for another 100 years of use.

I might have missed it, but what type of oil did you use to heat treat the inner parts of the grinder with? Excellent restoration/rehab by the way, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.

Nice save on the brushes, not sure if I would have thought of the vac hose brush as an alternative. You got the cleaner to come out looking and working great. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching.

Thanks for the groovy idea you magnificent b@stard!!! Video inspired by YOU coming soon!!!!

Looks like a Buffalo screwdriver in the mix. Mine are about 55+/- years old. Hard to think of them as vintage, but they are getting old.

Definitely an improvement, going to fun to put restored tools in it and use it. Nice job of bringing it back, thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching.

Tung oil finish, hands down for me. Nice job, always fun to bring old tools back from the brink of total loss. Thanks for the video,enjoyed watching.
