Still looking for a way to light up the bottle door area for a Cavalier 72 or Vendo 56. Any Ideas?

Glen - I searched but couldn't find the post. I'm pretty sure I remember Josh posting on this subject. He used on of those micro 'ground effects' lights that they put on cars. It was about 8 - 12" and I think he mounted it behind the stack or on the backside of the big door to the side of the bottle door.

I have a light assy for a cav 64 that you could try to use somehow. It is the type that has the small bulb at the top. You might be able to welt the top piece from the cav 64 into the vendo 56 housing. Just an idea. Or a square top 56 has the light at the top as well.

Josh,
Very intriguing idea. Unfortunately I've already completed the restoration and gave it to a friend to sell for me out of his coke memorabilia shop in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. But I'm sure I'll run into another Vendo 144 to try this on. Actually, I already did but the guy thought he had something made out of gold because he wanted $1000 for it, and it needed some serious work internally.

Here's the old post. Haven't done anything more with it.
Lighted door post.

Creighton - that's the ticket!
JohnieG - did you ever get around to using those streetglows?
*** Just looked at these lights again... looks like they're 12V-DC. How did you guys plan to make them work? ***

Very cool idea. I too wish that my Cav. 64 were lit up inside the stack.

Was just going to have a friend put together a converter. Just never got around to it.
The bottle rack is out now and taking another look. Like the orginal cheapo 3 bulb array design still. Fits out of the way nice. Here is a better pic. Note this a alpha test. Something for everyday use needs MUCH more mositure protection.
