Apparently I am the only manufacturer of reproduction IMP top-flap radio dial covers for the Antique IMP Trade Stimulators (aka IMP Ball Gum Vendor / IMP Slot Machines).
After searching for approximately two years for a new top-flap, I finally decided to give it up and reproduce my own. When it was done, I was amazed at the fit and quality of the flap and hinge pin that was produced.
One flap, two sides
The graphics were created using an original radio-dial top flap by a professional graphic designer, and applied to the aluminum flap only after being hand-fitted to an original IMP trade stimulator blank by myself.
Each flap is produced with the same aluminum material as the original radio dial top-flaps and comes complete with a newly manufactured hinge-pin.
Supplies are limited
I have noticed that about 50% of the IMP machines being sold on ebay are missing the top flap, which greatly reduces the retail value of the machine. Now is your chance to complete your IMP Trade-Stimulator to it's original look (or replace your old ugly existing flap) for a fraction of the total cost to reproduce this quality piece.
Supplies are limited, so get yours today before they run out.
