Can someone out there please explain to me why my Vendolator has a hollow wooded dowel in the door. It had no wires or anything else going through it, but it seems like it has some purpose. The old door liner even has its shape molded to it.

OK Think Ive figured out this pic resizing thing. I circled the strange wooden item in the pic. The color is from a rust stabilizer paint. It used Tobe a wood color before.

It looks suspiciously like the wooden spacer used in VMC-27/33's.
Where on your door is it? I can't make out what part of the door your picture is focused on.

It s near the center behind the coin change. The old door liner had a cast in chute that went from the cylinder down to the bottom of bottle door.

I can't spot it in the last pic you posted.
Is (or was) there a hole on the main door and/or liner too? What diameter is the hole in the wooden dowel? 1/2"? I'm guessing the mechanical mech shaft went through it maybe.

Reply #5 appears to display behind the cabinet door, behind the coin mech area with the door liner removed. This wood might have been a spacer as in the VMC 27/33...
As we can see, this is a transitional machine and was originally designed for a manual crank handle operation.

I think you are right about a possible mechanical shaft penatration. I will try and post another pic tonight with some type of spring linkage that sits bellow the chrome insert for the bottle door. Also the hole is about 1/2" dia. with three wood screws that held the linner to it.

That is what it is. On the square top V56 and V81 transitional machines the linkage is on the outside of the liner. It is a spacer giving the door liner stability around the coin mech shaft.

Yep - that is part of the linkage that used to run from the mechanical mech to the bottle stack.
