I am going to convert my Coleman combo vac Push Button Keyboard to two switches, one that says vacuum and one that says shampoo. I have a schematic to do this and also bought two push button switches (same as on shampooer handle). I am going to cut out the rectangle where the PBC is ann already had some stainless cut to size to fit in this area. My biggest concern is getting a decal to cover this so it doesn't look mickey moused. If anyone has done this and has any tips, it would be greatly appreciated.

Get the coleman decal or take a picture of one and have a local vinyl shop make one for you. I just rebuilt 6 coleman combos and their decals are pretty nice and easy to install. I think I can get them done much cheaper locally.

Hello ,
I am looking to do the exact same thing because I am in the process of removing a swipe n clean from a site. Do your doors already have bill acceptors ? I am looking to also add bill acceptors and a cryptopay credit card swipe. I am not sure if makes sense to modify current door or just purchase new door from coleman but I have not checked on the price. When you fill the space of the keypad armed you going to weld this in place or just screw it with some L brackets or something ?
