There were about 7 of those stacked in the condensor drip pan. Seller did not know anything about them.

The fact that there are 7 of these with slots in them, would lead one to suspect that they are spacers for your vending stacks.

Here is a link to some pics of the machine...Maybe by looking at them you can figure out where those parts go..I'm stumped.

This may be a long shot- except for the slits,it almost looks like a cash box lid of some sort - maybe from some old electromechanical game.  Attached is the shape of a 1970 Williams pinball machine cash box.

Most lids end up missing.  I actually still have the one in my Atari Asteroids machine.

Choice Vend calls them "Side Fillers"for use with different size bottles.  They hang on the side inside the vending rack to compensate for the smaller diameter of bottles than cans. You adjust the back spacer for single depth (due to the longer length in bottles than cans) and remove the 2 rear Helixes (You use all 4 Helixes for 2 deep cans vending)
A necessity for vending 12oz beer bottles plus you can vend 12oz cans and bottles in the same machine

Hope that helps

Since I do not use 10 oz cans, I guess they are like an appendix...Not needed. Whew! My CVC-374 does not dispense bottles, so I won't need em for that.

Thanks!
