I have some early 2000 Fragramatic combo vacs that work great but I want to add bill acceptors. Fragramatics says its a matter of space inside the cabinet as why I can't do it. They said their models with bill acceptors are built different to make room for the acceptors. Has anyone every retrofitted theirs or have any ideas? Thanks.

I would add credit cards instead of bill acceptors.

Does it have improved locks? I would not put bill acceptors in a Fragramatics with the Van cam locks on it. Their models with bill acceptors have a totally different locking system.

I don't know. He was just displaying the door at the 2019 ICA show. FWIW, I put LAI locks in mine last year. I was backed into a corner somewhat. Keys got stolen and I had those LAI on hand and made do with them.

I've replaced the Van locks with regular Gem meter door locks. I figure they're just going to pry the door open and break them again, why spend more on something they can still break easily. I've got a couple extra hardened steel puck locks I need to take and have machined and maybe mount them to the door.

Or, add a separate Box with the Bill Acceptor Bolted to the regular box?
Can you post a pic.
