I am getting ready to put a free vend switch on my USS-96. Where are the best places that you have seen them installed? I am currently planning on putting it behind the bottle opener. I would like it hidden.
Thanks

I'm just thinking out loud here:
I've noticed that a lot of people like to use the bottle opener even if they have screw off tops (younger people find it neat and the older people find it nostalgic). Will the switch interfere with the bottle opening? What if the switch gets wet from a bottle of coke squirting?

Never thought of that. For the time being it would not be a problem as I am only going to have cans in it, but if I ever went to bottles that could be a problem.

I would put a spring loaded switch inside the bottle door that would actuate when the bottle door is opened.  '>

The neatest idea I've heard was to gerry-rig the coin return lever to trip the switch. Not sure how it was done but it would certainly be hidden and wouldn't be busted by people using the bottle opener.

I've seen that on a machine as well. But I didn't rig it myself. |

Do you mean like this? 
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.  :'> PS if you mount the switch in the bottle opener area, it will get mighty sticky sooner or later from a well-shakened (not stirred) Coke & fail. also the switch has line voltage across the pins & a wet area isn't advisable.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

I don't remember a picture... As this one, as described, was completely hidden inside the coin door. When you toggled the Coin return lever (on the outside), the inside of the lever not only depressed the coin mech's return it also hit the free vend button.
Johnie - can you post or explain what you do to include a keyed lock out (electrical switch) switch?
