Title: Vendo 39 heater?
Post by: red ranger on July 08, 2002, 01:45:21 pm
My Vendo 39 has a small heater on the front of the coin mech. Has anyone seen this before? I assume it's there to keep the mechanism from frosting???

That's correct...
These have been used for many years but I usually remove them because they look like they'll start a fire!

Jim is correct, they're used to keep the coin mech's from frosting up and to help evaporate any water/rain that got into the mech.(in an outside enviroment,) it's safer to leave then dissconected as they're running on line voltage and are just a power drain anyhow (especially since most machines this age aren't going to see an unsheltered outside vending service area again)
