How is the light in the vend door (see pic, if it posts) accessed for replacement?  (a picture's worth a thousand words)

Thanks

If it 's the same as earlier models like the Vendo 81 which I've changed many of those, the glass just slides up about an inch, then the bottom will pop out and you can slide it back out downwards. Some have a small little metal band across the middle that might have to be unscrewed? if not just a little pressure on the top part so that it slides behind the metal holder and push up slightly and once the glass is out you can get to the bulb. Now if the the flourescent starter is not working then I believe the whole liner has to be removed to get to it.
Good luck

Thanks.  Mine does have the metal band, and there doesn't seem to be an obvious exposed screw nearby.  I tried sliding the glass up, but it didn't go.

On the positive side, the fluorescent starter for the vend door is easy to get to next to the Jones plug:

Lift the bottle door gasket to expose 1 of the screws holding
the metal band.
      There is a spring holding the top and bottom of the glass.
Press firmly top and bottom and slide glass up or down, it will
release............we promise!

Once the screw was removed, the glass slid as advertised.  Thanks for the expertise.

zadd -- The door liner is intact, but it has no light-change instructions.  It does have other OEM stickers though, like the patent sheet and the wiring diagram:
