Hello everyone,
I have a Vendo 81B that doesn't appear to have a light in the selection door. I was under the impression that they all had the light. Is this true or did some not have a light. If some didn't, what would I need to put one in?
Thanks for the input, Bryan

The light should be on the right side, every 81 ive seen had the light. If yours doesnt you would need to find a lightbar. I had one two weeks ago but it sold.

I know this does not answer your question, BUT, in case you or others are interested:
My C-72 has no provision for a lamp for the selections. I went to Lowes' and picked up a 6 foot rope light for $6. This was easily hung in a "U" shape on the inside of the seletion door, and looks great!

Thanks for the replies, and let me tell you, I feel like a dope. Sure enough, it's on the right side. I thought I looked everywhere, turns out they hid it pretty good!
I am a newbie to the group by the way and am enjoying looking around the forums. There are some beautiful machines out there!

Yah, but do you know how to turn it on. Do you know where the switch is on your 81

The switch is a push button type and will be located above the door opening on the inside of the main door.

Is the button recessed or is it broken on my machine? Mine appears to have a silver circle with a hole in it right over the bottle door on the inside. Really want the light to work on my machine! Thanks, Bryan  |

it should be protruding out of that silver circle.. if not it's broken off and or missing.
you may have to remove the whole door, and lay it flat on a bench or two sawhorses and then start to remove the plastic door liner so that you can gain access to the bottle light doro assemble.. its not an easy or fun process as the rubbe gasket will come off as well. but it's the only way to really address the problem by removing the door liner.
We can help you through that process.. key is to lay the door on a flat stable surface. sawhorses work best so that you dont have to remove the coin door assembly and such..
Good luck

We must warn you that you will need a new door liner. Lift the
gasket anywhere and you will see that the liner is cracked around almost
every screwhole and will be nearly impossible to re-install.
I agree the Vendo 81 is nothing without it's light, and a new liner
gasket will only improve value and performance.
