Centipede Cocktail Restoration - Questions before starting
So, I am in process of obtaining a "fixer-upper" (**EDIT** - This is actually a Millipede Cocktail) table. I'll be getting this Thursday, and this will be my new project for the next few months. I'm considering doing a near-full resto on this one (Will know more once I see the cocktail IRL).
I do know there is some work to do cosmetically, and I am looking for pointers.
1) CPOs are shot on this unit. I see some repro's are available, who's is the best? How should I prep the CP, should it be painted or should I suck up getting it powder coated?
2) Cocktail Glass - If I assume the glass is salvageable (after pickup, glass is salvageable), who has the best underlay, repro, or replacement? Looking for ideas on this one, what would you use?
I may have more questions on the cosmetics after I see the machine IRL on Thursday when I pick it up, just thought I'd try to get the ball rolling getting answers on the parts I know need replacement/fixing. Someone had to do a resto on one of these before...
