Wonder what your Tapper used to look like?

A Timber restoration led me to peeling the lumberjack art off the sides of the cabinet which revealed a pristine color sample of what the art looked like when it left the factory and it should be pretty easy to tell where the sticker stopped. Does your cabinet look like the top or the bottom?

Holy fade!

This machine was what i would call a very good condition almost original and i was just gonna clean it up and throw it in my basement as is. However, a corner of the lumberjack artwork had started to peel so curiosity kept me peeling. After seeing how bad this thing had faded, it's now been added to the list of endangered resto projects and will fit in nicely next to my restored bud tapper when it's done. The tapper art was done by me long ago so the rest of the project will be cake since the timber art peeled off nicely and remained in one piece.

Or if you just wanted to get it out of the way I could come and take it off of your hands. I'm sure you have so many more important things to do than work on this.

When you repro the timber art I will be interested in a set as well.

I turned all the files to the original tapper repro over to Rich and i'll be getting the Timber art scanned in hopes of a repro sometime this year. If i can twist Rich's arm enough that is!

Ive never really sat and checked out the Tapper sideart before until now. That sideart is freaking awesome. One of my fav's now.

its all a matter of how much light tapper was exposed to.. Here is a pic of the one I sold at cax. You can see the top is slightly faded towards green. Still, it was in far better shape than most tappers..

I didn't know there was a Tapper for sale at CAX. How much did you get for it?

 

[mrbill2084]

it was sold before the show. It would have been ready on time, but I was sick before the show and then I spent ectra time getting moonwalker and cloak and daggaer ready for the show.. So I spent most of saturday and part of sunday getting tapper ready, so I missed most of the show..

As for a price, I honestly forgot how much.. It was not cheap.. Went to another KLOV'er who came to the show..

amusing

I like the illustration... it's comical to look at the bud logos and see how poorly they were added to the mugs. the mugs are round and the logos are flat. Good job promoting your product bud.

Someday I'd like a tapper and lumberjack. Very fun games!
