I have a machine that says on the front that it is a FL Jacobs J-26, but the outside of the machine does not have any access for the bottles to come out. The inside has a opening where it looks like the bottles should come out, but the outside is just solid metal. Does anyone know what this is? Could it just be one that someone rebuilt in the past and covered over the opening? Thanks...

The Jacobs 26 has a side mounted chute that is part of the coin door assembly...here's a shot of one for reference, if its been filled in maybe someone thought to make it into a refrigerator or some thing !? 
you see a lot of strange modifications to some of these machines...hope this helps you out...JohnieG

Yep...Bingo! they filled in the bottle chute & made a 'fridge out of it, I assume thats the ice-tray holder on the top shelf? so does this machine even have a working compressor deck in it? (does it run???)
