Hey Everyone!
I have recently acquired a Vendorlator 7-Up machine and am looking to replace the light bulbs that are in it, both the bulb that is in the glass door and the one that lights up the 7-UP emblem in the front. My question is: What bulbs do I need and where can I get them? I have a Vendorlator VFA 56F-B. We also found the letter/number combinations of VP 153T and after looking at a bunch of pics on the internet, I think it could be a VMC 56 machine. I hope you can help me out with my lighting dilemma. Thanks a lot.
Todd

I have always been able to find the bulbs for these machines at Home Depot.

Hello

For the flourescent bulbs check the transformer for the bulb data. The transformer will have everything you need. Now there could be an exception to this rule & that exception is if someone replaced the transformer. Then check the size/length of the bulb & go to the store (Lowes-Home Depot) & purchase the correct sized transformer & starter.

Very simple process.

The smaller door bulb should be easy.

Hello Iceman,
 The flourescent bulb should be a G.E. F14t8-D (daylight) 1" tube, 14 watts. Believe it or not Lowe's and Home Depot do not stock this one here in my area. I bought some longer contact connector ends that the bulb fits into so that I can try to use the more common F14T12 ( larger diameter) 1 1/2" tube. If not I will special order from an elect. lighting store. Terry

Hey Todd,
   I just bought a pepsi 56b-b machine.  If it is the same as mine you will need to go to a specialty lighting store.  The large sign that you have in the right hand corner of your machine may take a floorescent bulb.  This is a 14 watt bulb '<img'>  You wont find this at wall*Mart.  The numbers on it are
F14T12/cw 14 W  Cool white.  This will be a sylvania.  I'm not sure if the are made by GE or not.  If your bulb in the door is the same as mine it will say Sylvania 7W 115-125V.  I'm not sure if it is a 115 or H5.  I just got it out tonight.  I am taking it to the lighting store also if I can't find it at some super store.  It looks like a big christmas light you put on a outside string. '<img'>   I hope this will help you.  That is what my machine takes.  If I'm wrong I hope someone will let you know.
Good Luck
Patrick

Hello Iceman,
  I just picked up a couple of G.E. F14T8-CW Flouresant bulbs from Grainger. They costs 9.99 each. If there is not a grainger in your area, try there web page www.grainger.com
