Title: vendo 44 heater
Post by: osstyn on August 22, 2010, 08:52:52 pm
Hello first time posting, I've read a lot even talked to a few members on the phone what a great group of people.

Anyway my question is about the heater block found on some vendo 44's that kept the coin mech from freezing. Was that standard on all 44's ? or was it a kit coke shipped out later when they found the coin mech freezing problem? or maybe they only installed them on machines they knew were going to cold climates? also are they found on any other models ?
Just curious thanks,
John

All the 44's I've serviced up here in Michigan have all had the heater-resister, but I suppose it may have to do with were the machine was to be delivered ( to a northern stste like Michigan vs Florida for example)

Thanks for the reply  johnieG i was guessing by looking at the wiring diagram that it was standard most times if it were an option it would say (optional) on the wiring diagram.

anyway johnieG I'm glad to know i have an expert living close by. I live in commerce mi.

I see them on pretty much every crank handle model machine - there is one on my 39's & 81's & 110's, but not on my Cavalier 27 or Cavalier 33.
