Quoted from QuarterGrabber:Is there a way i can rewire the inside of the power tap box to make the power only active when the machine is turned on?
Yes.
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:Does anyone have pics of one rewired for this?
Here is one, it would be best for you to take a pic of your machine as they changed things over the years. Remember to unplug the machine first before unscrewing the power box. On my pic you would disconnect wire #1 at the filter and reconnect it at the switch #2.
