CANDYSHOP series machines. This will take
place as of January 1, 1987. They will no
longer build or repair accumulators at
their facility. They will, however,
continue to maintain parts for the units
through 1987.
There are several excellent electronic
accumulators available which will
interface with SK>KESHOP and/or CANDYSHOP
machines. It is suggested, that if you are
interested, you should contact your
nearest Automatic Products distributor.

following part nunbers:

For machines below the above listed serial
nunbers there is a rubber self adhesive
pad available to put around the operate
switch to prevent the switch from

DIXIE-NARC()
Part #750108 through
Part #750108-7 ... For use with SMOKESHOPS
When ordering kits for SK>KESHOPS you rrust
specify the type of changer that will be
used and whether or not a digital display
will be used. Please note that the above
kits do not include a changer.
There has been a problem reported from the
field regarding the operate switches
breaking on the 6000 and 7000 series
SNACKSHOPS. The problem is caused by the
operate switch being bottomed out when the
door is closed, causing the switch to
break internally.
The problem has been corrected on
production units by indenting the sliding
panel deeper where the operate switch is
.

not include the coin changer. Changers
