I'm going to slightly modify my Jacobs 56 by attempting to do the following:

Separate the power source for the lights (nickles only, empty & the big Pepsi button) from the cooling mechanism. This way, I can turn on the lights at any time without having to have the machine running. I'm going to search for a capacitive touch switch that will work from behind the plastic lenses to turn the lights on & off. I will also replace the conventional light bulbs with LED lights.

All of these changes would be easy to undo for the purist.
