Homespun Antiques Ltd is a professional restoration company doing business under the names BIG BOYS TOYS RESTORATIONS and THE CARRIAGE WORKS RESTORATION SHOP.

BIG BOYS TOYS RESTORATIONS is where I specialize in the complete, professional restoration of vintage gameroom items, particularly (tube-type) jukeboxes, (electro-mechanical) pinball and arcade games, vintage Coke and soda machines,  and other collectibles including slot machines,  candy and cigarette machines, penny scales, cash registers,  and more.  I limit my work to pre-1975 vintage items, with a particular focus on items from the 50's and earlier.  If it is mechanical, electro-mechanical or uses tubes, I will work on it.   (I avoid items with integrated circuits and LCD read-outs, so that I can maintain  expertise in what is becoming the lost art of tube and electro-mechanical restoration.)

With over 40 years of experience and the proper tools and equipment, I am able to perform most aspects of a total restoration in house.   I have four shops covering everything from electronic repairs to sandblasting, metal fabrication, painting and refinishing.  I even do small part plating in house.  Most restorations involve a complete teardown, any necessary stripping, sandblasting, welding, metal fabrication and repair, electrical, mechanical or electronic repair, body and refinishing work, plating and polishing, hand painting and lettering, and complete re-assembly and detailing.  A complete pictorial record of the process is provided upon completion of your project.  When it is done, your project will be  like new, representing an investment that will only increase in value and provide you years of pleasure.  (Scroll down to see more past restorations, or click Restoration Example to see the restoration process on a Seeburg 100C jukebox.)

THE CARRIAGE WORKS RESTORATION SHOP is another part of my restoration business, where I take on one complete body-off restoration of a classic vehicle each year.  I prefer vintage English sports cars, having done numerous Triumphs (TR-3, TR-4, Spitfire), and MG's (TD, TC, Midget), but also having done everything from a 1930 Model A Ford rumble seat coupe to a 57 Chevy convertable.  As with my gameroom restorations, virtually nothing is missed, and when it is done you have a pictorial record of the entire project and an investment that only increases in value and provides great pleasure.

I also have a warehouse of items for sale that I will restore for you, from classic jukeboxes to coke machines, to penny scales, to cash registers, to visible gas pumps and everything in between.  Stop by if you would like to take a tour.

I can be reached at (317) 730-0018 or by e-mail at bobpeltz@homespunantiques.com .  My shop is located northwest of Indianapolis, IN, in the small village of Fayette.  Fayette is five miles north of Brownsburg on State Rt. 267, within a few miles of I-65 and I-74.  Once you hit Fayette you can't miss the shop--just look for the old horse drawn buggy on the roof of the old general store!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Bob Peltz, Proprietor
