Refurbing a Codom Vender

So I got this condom machine... :-[

 

There's a conversation starter.  I'm refurbishing this to hang in my lounge.  It seems a straightforward process, clean, prime, paint. I kinda like black or maybe red.

I would like to find a source for the decals that would go on the machine.  I have one for "Instant Pu**y" novelties these could vend, but I would like to find a vintage "Arouse" brand condom label, say late 70's early 80's, or even a good picture of one that I could scan and Photoshop into usability.  eBay has some, but I'd like see if there's more variety available from other sources first.

Or decals for any novelty items, like the cocktail coins, etc. from the 50's and 60's. 

The lounge this is in is my e-cig lounge, at my shop.  We might actually try to vend wick and wire from this, just have to find packaging, without buying a case of vendable condoms and repacking the boxes.

Also the coinmech is a bit ugly.  Any tips on polishing or sources for new/NOS/good used?  Finally, from what I can tell, these would have a weight on the top of the stack of product. Will a block of lead shaped to size work, or does it need some special characteristic?

I would probably try the clear sleeves that baseball cards will go in for the packaging of products. You can fold and staple to reach the desired shape you

need. A regular piece of steel about 3/16 thick will work to hold them down.

Remember to put the factory edge so that it faces the front. As for the mech, I would probably take apart and clean really well. Then scuff it up really good and paint with a contrasting color. It looks pretty rough. It probably won't clean up very well.
