The Insides of Stuff


Cornflakes

Recommended Posts

I used to have a really awesome job working as an arcade manager/amusement vending secretary/bottled water secretary/ and whatever else I was needed for. I LOVED my job but I made no money, and I had to quit to go back to university full time.

 

Anyway, the company owned hundreds of vending/amusement machines, and as I told everyone over at this topic, we had several jukeboxes, both CD and 45. If one of our machines broke down at one of our various locations, they were brought into my office for repair. While they were being repaired, I took a few photos of what the insides of stuff look like. Maybe you'll find it interesting. I always did.

(Sorry for the sucky quality. I took these awhile ago with my super old cell phone.)

Ah yes, I remember studying some of these machines not too long ago (where studying = watching a documentary :P ). I'm still fascinated by what you can pull off without even having to use integrated circuit logic. :yes: Thanks for the pictures!

 

By the way, any idea what the manufacturers for these were?
