Take the bulb out or the FS - 2 started would be the easiest.  Or you could wire in a switch...

       The 63 and 90 usually have an on/off button on the side of the 9 pin Jones receptacle.

I leave my machine running 24/7...keep it full of product as it makes it more efficient...less bother too IMO.
I don't think it cost any more or less either way!

I think I will compromise. I will keep it running but be able to turn the fluorescent light off unless I want to show it off to family/friends. The fascinating part for most people is when they put a quarter in and get three nickels back. You don't see that any more!

There you go. Good choice. Surge protector is great advice. Ideal is on a dedicated 30amp GFI circuit.
Guests will be just as transfixed if receive two nickels. Raise the price :-)
Lot of things don't see much of saved here.
Enjoy your machine !!

Just use the machine and enjoy it. These machines are bullet proof. Only using it a few days a week will not add to it's life, I don't believe. I use mine only during the summer months and it rests winter months.

One quick question about compressor cycling times. Since I decided to keep the machine on, I wanted to try and get an idea of the compressor cycling times with a fully stocked machine. Compressor was on for about 11 minutes then it shut off. It stayed off for 30 minutes then compressor came on and stayed on for 15 minutes. Then all was quiet for 33 minutes. Do these times seem average or do you think it is cycling too much? The room that it is in is about 72 degrees.

Cycling twice per hour seems about right in my limited experience with running a few of my machines when fully stocked!

2-3 times per hour is normal
