hinged on the left

Hi, all there machines pictured have doors and lids hinged on the left side. Where they reversible? Thanks arthur

No, all the later Blackstone models had hinges on the left, and were not designed to be reversed. 250s and 350s had lid hinges in the back.

Hey, "door hinge" rhymes with "orange."

Blackstone, thanks for your reply.  I saw a real Blackstone only 1 coinop in a row of whirlpool coin ops, long ago in New Orleans. It was indeed avocado, and it was washing away. I dont know if the others failed or maybe the owner bought 1 to try them out. At the time i had only heard of the Blackstone brand, in one of the tide commercials in a magazine.  But i still remember seeing it.  door hinge does rhyme with orange quick call "Eminem", LOL,  Thanks again for the info.  Arthur
