Make sure your starters are plugged all the way in. They can come loose pretty easily with the door opening and closing. usually they are round (approx size between a nickel and a quarter) and about 2 1/2 inches long made of aluminum. If it isn't that then well I am just a dumb soda guy

Cs-80c

I just got done restoring a Cav CS-80C.
One bulb is for Use Correct Change. This is only lit if the changer is low on change to give back.
The other bulb (Have A Coke) is attached to a switch that is activated by the vending relay. Honestly, my Have A Coke light doesn't go on all the time. The switch is located under the vending rack.
Some of these older machines did not use a starter for the fluorecent, so you may need to replace the ballast. I had to do this on my Vendo and it cost me less than $10 (at Menards).
If you have more questions, you may want to go over to the forum at Soda-Machines.Com.
Attached is a pic of my machine and the wiring diagram (it's kind of small, it wouldn't let me do a larger one).

Thanks

Thanks for the help regarding the Cavalier questions. I was also able to find a company that sells downloads of old manuals for this machine. I didn't realize that the "have a coke" light only came on when money was deposited. I also assumed my coinco was set at the 10 cent indicated on the machine. I found out that it was set at 25 cents and the light works. I was able to set it back to 10 from another manual I found for the coinco from the same site. Great stuff! Regarding the main coke light, I simply replaced the starter and she lit! Thats again!
