Thanks for remembering the Coke Machine Rescue Team.

Those guys (Kevin Jr & Matt) had their first football game Friday night & came out with a Win. They are on the shelf for Machine Rescue until December.  They made that trip across the state into a real adventure & I am not sure if I will ever hear the complete story.

Hey not sure what the machine was before but it has been repainted sometime in the past.  Jasmine64 was the owner prior to me so maybe she can shed some light.

I can tell you one thing is that it works great! New fan motors, T-stat & a good cleaning has this thing humming right along. The vending stuff is excellent!

My problem is that once I get a machine I dont want to trade/sell it.

When I bought the machine from a guy not far from me,
he had pepsi and dr pepper stickers on it. Along with some 70's flower power
stickers, they peeled right off.

The sign was a dp sign with places where stickers had also been stuck
all over it. He peeled them off while
we were looking over the machine and discussing the purchase.
I took that out and replaced it with the Coke sign from funtronics.

Hello

This shows the cover in place & you can just see the switch I installed hanging down in the coin compartment. I cutout & disabled the switch that is on the light fixture.  This way I can turn the light on/off from the coin compartment.


The light is an under the counter light I bought at Lowe's & the switch is a simple push button type.

Kevin

Hey Kevin - when you added the light to your VMC56, I'm assuming that by using and under the shelf unit you didn't need to bother with a starter and ballast (they'd be buried in the assembly somewhere)?

Bryan, you're correct, the undercounter light fixture has a built in ballast & starter, you can either use the orignal wire conectors to supply power to the new light assembly, or if the machine was a metal-sign converted to a lightup (and therefore had no wire-harness connectors in the first place) then you just spice off of pins #1 & #2 of the female Jones socket of the coinmech.

Thanks Johnie - worked great with hardly any fuss. There was already a set of connectors coming out of the Jones connector box... (I think the machine must have had a light before it was Squirt'ized) so tapping in was a no brainer.  Anyway, still need to hook up a junction box and switch but the sign now has a light.  Will eventually tap into the bottle door light circuit and put a switch on it also.  Looks sweet at night.
