UAC-saru
AIR -vend , Inc ., Mendota Heights,
Minnesota, has announced the intro-
duction of VAC-serv , a coin-operated
vehicle vacuum service . The new
VAC-seru offers a smaller, more func -
tional cabinet design ; a unique filtering
system for easier cleaning; and overall
heavy duty construction , making the
VAC -seru practically maintenance -
free and vandal -proof.
The new VAC -serv units can be
used in convenience stores and ser-
vice stations, where over 16,000 of the
company's AIR-serv machines have
already been installed . VAC -seru
should also open new market oppor-
tunities in truc k stops, car washes,
and motels.
The VAC-seru has been designed
to accommodate all safety regulations
for mounting the units on gasoline
pump islands. All electrical compo-
nents are mounted at least four feet off
the ground, making the unit attractive
to truck stop locations, where safety
codes previously prohibited use of
similar products.
Maintenance of the VAC-seru unit
is easy . A system of three cloth filters
gather and hold all waste materials
until the vacuum motor shuts off. The
contents of each filter sack then auto-
matically dump into the receptacle
below. The receptacle can easily be
removed for cleaning.
For added security, the VAC-serv
also features AIR -vend's patented
locking system with a new cylindrical
locking bar . The upper chamber is
protected by a second security door ,
and the newly enlarged coin box has a
$500 capacity.
The VAC-serv contains an Ametek/
Lamb motor which , according to vice
president of operations, Dick Jurek,
" .. . was chosen for its power and few
moving parts and durability."

of Doom
Indiana Jones and The Temple of
Doom, the blockbuster movie , is now

matically resets the game every 2 ,000
plays; the Multiple Bonus Life option
lets operators adjust extra life con-
ditions for every 20,000, 30,000 or
40,000 points , or sequentially increas-
ing from 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 , or
50 ,000 points; and a new Bonus Life
feature allows operators to limit the
to tal number of extra lives.
