H56C Vendolator Door Question

[pumpdude]

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.

Pictures, pictures... I've pulled a few of these apart and haven't found wood yet.

I cant post pics I cant get them scaled down enough.

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.

Hey this is great. That last pics is the strange wooden cylinder in the center of the door on my H56C Vendolator.

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.
