Can anybody tell me the best way to restore the wood on this dollar machine?. Should I use paint striper? And how would I match the original stain color? Also how would I keep the original stickers on the side? Thanks for any help.

Treat it like you would any piece of wood furniture, but stay away from the decals. Most were water transfer and they are fragile. I would darken it somewhat, but leave that "aged and used" looking patina. That adds character to the piece, but this is just my own personal preference. Play around with it in a small inconspicuous place. Have fun. Dave

Contact my friend and member of this site, Don Creekmore, on his website www.nationsattic.com and I'm pretty sure he will have some recommendations for you.
