Pardon my non-vendo jargon...I read the V63-7 would hold the following bottles: 63-6-10oz; 56-12oz Bottles. Does this mean 63 bottles which are 6 to 10 oz? My problem: the only small bottle currently available from Coca-Cola is the Coke Classic. The curve just above the base will not clear the metal bar. I need instructions on how to adjust the roller bar located at the door. Is this a possible adjustment?

I've always successfully used bottles from Stewart's and IBC. I just discovered this little problem with the Coke bottle.

The plastic .5 liter size bottle?  or the 20oz plastic? I know the 20oz. won't fit but the .5 liter will. make sure the shelf is on the lower of the three holes as shown in the picture, but the roller can't be adjusted, it's in a fixed mounting bracket.
Sams club & Cosco, & Meyers around here carry the glass 10oz bottles too. we can get Sprite, Coke, Diet Coke, Crush, Dr Pepper.Stewards soda's, Frostie rootbeer, etc. in glass around here (Suburban-Metro Detroit area.) we have Faygo in glass but there're too fat to vend  '<img'>  too bad I luv Redpop!, soo check around your local markets, they won't make 'em if we don't buy 'em!

The coke-classic bottle is either 6 or 8oz, and is glass. It's the small bottle I remember from the mid 60's. Thanks for your attachment, the bar is in the lowest of the 3 holes. We've been using the V63 as our beverage fridge. A friend who's considering purchasing it is a real coca-cola-aholic and only wants to dispense coca-cola products, hence my question about 'is' this machine capable of dispencing these bottles.

On a 2nd issue...Is there a suggestion on how to access the light located on the top portion of the door when the screw on the left seems to be obstructed by the coin change lever?

Yes! the Glass bottles fit nicely! I know I've got a V63/Coke machine running in my garage right now! just make sure the bottom plate (the "floor" that the bottle rest's on when it's ready to be vended...(if that explanaton makes any sense?) is also lowered to meet the shelfs lower level, jiggle it a little.
to get the lightup sign out, 1: open the coin door and dissconnect the wire harness that supplies the sign with power
2: open the main door and right about where the middle of the sign is on the right out side edge of the main door you'll see a straight slotted screw ,(NOT the phillips head) remove this screw, place your hand over the face of the sign, & carfully pry on the right edge of the sign where it meets the doors edge, it will pivot open , there are two pins that hold the left side in the machine, now it will pop free, don't drop it!
take off the four small phillips screws on the aluminum bezel and you'll have access to the bulb & starter, the ballast is under the sheet metal box behind the bulb. hope this helped you...JohnieG ':<img:'>
