Cavalier 64ES - trim around Cavalier logo/coin insert area

[PeteB]

I saw some really nice restorations of Cavalier 64 models on the antiquevending site... anyhow, on a few CS-64E, as well as some other unrestored models, the trim that's above upper half of the coin inert bezel...(the part that the "cavalier" script attaches to" looks like it has rows of horizontal lines.  Mine just looks painted a single color.  Does anyone have a photo of this part up close, or have any details on if perhaps I'm missing something, or what might be a good way to restore it with this horizontal tab look?

Here's a restored photo:

Here's what mine's like this (in white):

The trim you are asking about is actually a thin metal plate that has an adhesive backing on it. Some machines had them and some didn't. The Css64F was usually the model that had that part painted. I don't think anyone reproduces them. When I restore a machine I generally just paint it. I think it looks better anyway.

Love finding posts like this.  I was wondering same thing as well.  Mine is exactly like that one shown in the photo with the white backing.

One question I have been trying to figure out is why is my model  CSS-64FS?   What does the "FS" stand for?  Mine had a fountain attached to the side of it.
