Where to put it?

The pull switch is for the correct change only light.  I use sbc-yahoo.

Log in at http://www.sbc-yahoo.net/ .  Looks like you have photo storage with it and I don't see anything about how much web space you have.  I can only see their sales pitch (since I'm not a member and can't log in) but I'm sure you get all the options once you do sign in.

Here's a consolidated set on Q's and A's from this thread:

On machines with adult beverages in them I include a keyed lock out (electrical switch) switch, & disable the coinmech, this way the little 'buggers can't get themselves (& me!) into trouble.

JohnieG - I still don't understand what the keyed lock out is or does?  Can you (or someone else that understands) shed some light?

The pull switch on the side is wired up to the correct change only light.

GBR - what do you use the switch for if you have free vend hooked up?  Are you turning the correct change on all the time to get people to trigger the free vend through the correct change lever?  or something else?

Thanks,  I have never bothered to register for any sort of image-hosting account,  can anyone recommend one?

GBR - here's a couple I've found with tons of free space... TekCities and/or 1WebSpace.

The keyed switch is just an on/off switch with key.  The key is removable in the on and off position and when off breaks the circuit so that the free vend is disabled.

I will post a picture later this week when I am finished with mine.  '>

The switch is probably hooked up in series with the vend solenoid.  With the key turned off (breaks the electrical circuit), the machiney will go no vendy! Plus with a key, there is no way for someone to turn the vending back on (unlesss they have the correct key)!  '>

I just like the looks of the correct change only light.  On one of my vendo's there is a black strip that runs the whole length of the coin door.  The change light is in side of it and cannot be seen unless on.

It is installed and working.  Here is a picture of the machine with the switch and keyed switch just below it.  I removed the coin entry and installed the diamond plate aluminum.  If the key is not on, it will not vend.

Here is a close up of it.  Thanks to all that suggested locations.  Thanks Johnnie for the free vend diagram that you have posted.  Here to all of you.

Very nice job! You guys figured out correctly, the keyed electrical switch is wired in series with the "free-play" switch. which will allow the owner control over his/her "Adult" beverage machine,
 
on an other note, I found that by cutting (narrowing)
down a Cavalier USS-96 coke sign insert, (as shown on spiders machine with the black frame) that I got it to fit nicely into my CS-96s sign frame...I took off 1/4" on each side /edge, & left the length alone. sorry I didn't reply earlier than I did, but looks like you figured out on your own! here here!  '>

Johnie / Jed - thanks.  I like the idea of the keyed switch.  Anything special about them?  Can you get them at HD, Lowes or Ace?
