Anyone  know how to access the light on a Vendo 63 (the light is flickering ,need to replace it ). There are two screws under the Coke logo panel BUT the panel UNDER it is blocking half the screws ! Thanks Ron

Can't you get to the screws by opening the coin door?

It's the two bolts circled (open the main door and it's on the side).

Ron,
We are all here to help with the addiction. Regret there is no known cure :-) Any questions just ask.

Hello

Addiction?  Yes it is an addiction. I got my first machine in November 04.  I have had a total of 6 machines & currently  have five machines in my coke machine workshop (garage). Look at the lists of machines with these guys & your will see the addiction.

It sure was nice last night after a long hot day to pull an ice cold Corona on the way into the house.

And another thing Ron, if it ends up not being the bulb, Menards carries the ballast and it is pretty cheap.  Also there was a discussion on wiring up a generic light in one too.  Just look a little further down on the Post 60's page.

Ron, welcome to the support group.
We all admit that we are powerless over our love for soda machines.
Glad you're here. Stick around.

Nice sign on it.  So much nicer than my boring red with white script.

Yes ,just the bulb...I'm already looking for my next machine !..... I just got over the antique radio addiction..and my wife was happy with that...now she looks at me a little strange when she finds me looking up Coke machines on the web  ...,kind of hard to hide a coke machine though.:D .........Ron
