Best explanation I have heard is they were spot welded on for crating and shipping purposes. I have heard that as well. Steve Ebner once told me he thought it was for a special dolly used in off-loading them from delivery trucks. I have never encountered any sort of reference to them in any manual or seen anything that fits into them. I tend to think it was used in the assembly line somehow to carry them or hang as they moved through the automated paint booth, etc. Title: Re: small brackets on back of machine Post by: MoonDawg on April 11, 2012, 07:17:44 pm All of these theories would make more sense if they were not welded on at a
45 degree angle . Title: Re: small brackets on back of machine Post by: Jim on April 11, 2012, 08:32:03 pm Perhaps fastening to a wall...?
It has been done on other coin-ops...
