Just For Fun Antiques and Restorations

We purchased a beautiful restored Coke Bar in the early 1990's. We recently moved and it was damaged by the moving company. It also had peeling paint in the interior. I needed to find a restoration company familiar with this kind of antique and found Just For Fun Antiques and Restorations. I'm glad I did. The owner, Alisa, provided me with a written estimate for repair, including pickup and delivery, which I submitted to the claims adjuster. After we settled the claim I contacted Alisa and arranged for the repair. I also need to mention Bill Burch. A very nice fellow. He picked up the Coke bar and was the one who did the restoration. I was kept continuously informed of the work that was being done. Finally, this past Friday, it was returned to me. The restoration was spot on. Absolutely beautiful. Bill not only did the work that I requested but he also completely cleaned it, polished it, and touched up a couple of things that weren't included in the estimate at no additional charge. I am attaching a few photos showing how it looked on arrival. If you have an antique that needs some expert restoration, Just For Fun should be at the top of your list. They are really just that good. Thank you, Alisa and Bill!

This place is the real deal for top of the line automotive, petrolianna, vintage advertising, and overall Americana. Period. Restored items are as near to perfection as you could get, and the number of items that are so scarce as to be only one of a handful left in the world, is amazing! The gentleman who owns the business is, as another commenter posted, a “real deal vintage guy” who was blessed enough to have lived and worked during a portion of this golden age of American pride, craftsmanship, and when even commercially functionally machines, we’re designed as pieces of art. Despite my only looking around with an eye for future purchases, he took a great deal of time to talk with me, educate me about some of the rarer pieces, and share some of his own experiences in the hobby. He is a genuinely nice, down to earth person who cares about taking time for others and ensuring these treasures are not forgotten. Ditto for his staff as well. I will definitely be back when I again have a space for some toys.

This man is a solid old school dude, high end quality work at reasonable prices.

A West Coast Legend when it comes to antiques. Gas Pumps, Coke Machines, Safes, Gumball Machines etc. His hands are blessed, he can turn trash into gold.
