Vendo 63

I just spliced in a rocker switch.  Let me see if I can get some pics.

Here you go.  It fits nicely above and behind the Jones plug for the changer.

Excellent... My trip to the depot for some lights will inclues a switch the list... Thanks for the info. Do you leave the door light on or shut that off too? Right now, my bulb is out, but I plan on changing that too...

[dr galaga]

I leave the bottle door light on all the time (nice little nite light).  Make sure you buy a higher wattage than normal (I think it's a 7 watt that I use).  If you buy a noramal wattage night light bulb (4 watts?)you will not be able to see the selections at the bottom.

Yeah.. I noticed that... I've got the standard night light bulb in there now...

Wonder if the sign's light could be controlled with a dimmer switch?

[BryanH]

Glen, don't see why a dimmer wouldn't work.  I put a shallow doublegang junction box with std switches for the sign and bottle door (both flourescent) in my Squirt machine.  Just switch one of the switches for a dimmer and you should be set.

I know there not that noisy....not enough to disurb most. But as an audio fanatic who likes to submerse themselves in the experience a coke machine isn't one of the special effects  that would enhance that experience. I have never heard a dorm cooler or small fridge that will come near the volume of the Vendo 63. My little R-1 on the other hand is near silent. To each his own but a simple fan drives me nuts if I have the Home theater going. Adding a a compressor fan to it takes away from submerssing myself in the film. But so does the phone, dogs, wife, kids....what are you going to do? Maybe reach into the Vendo 63 and grab a nice cold one!  '>
