I am thinking of moving my small square top V56 to door that goes out to the pool in the backyard. It has a bottle stack in it right now. How hard is it to swap it out for a can stack?
I was thinking glass bottles and a pool area really don't go together.
How does a can stack work? How does the can get ejected?
Anybody have an extra can stack that'd fit this machine that they might want to part with?
I am leaving the LaCrosse 90 out in the garage full of bottles for the driveway parties.

A can stack has a flap you pull in front of each can. When you pull it, the can gets pushed forward from the rear. Swapping stacks is easy, but the shelves for a can stack are also different.

I posted a tutorial awhile back showing how I converted a VF56 square-cornered machine from bottles to cans, you might wish to do a search for it. I have a can stack, but I'm not sure at this point if I'd part with it as I have another VF56/Faygo machine I considering installing it into.

It's hiding in here somewhere.. It was a VF56/thriftvend/Coke machine, I showed how to swap out the bottle rack & install a can rack, the machine later sold. But I posted a step-by-step as I removed the old rack & installed the "new" can rack & shelves...  |

I am pretty sure SMC member 'bubba' has a can rack and shelves that he'll trade for a bottle rack and shelves - PM him.

Its a direct replacement. A bottle stack unbolts and a can stack bolts right in. The vend solenoid is the same with 2 wires. The shelves fit on the original shelf brackets in the machine. I've got a can stack and shelves I'd swap for a bottle stack and shelves if you are interested. A 56/63 stack is the same, but the bolt pattern is different I think. The 56/63 shelves are a bit different I think.

I'll look when I have time later; if someone finds the post, I'll make sure it's "pinned" in the Tutorials & Tips Section. |

I posted a tutorial awhile back showing how I converted a VF56 square-cornered machine from bottles to cans So Johnnie - what you are saying is the tutorial shows the procedures for simply swapping out out bottle stack/shelves for can stack/shelves and not actually converting a bottle stack into a can stack by changing the mechanics of it. The latter is what it sounds like and what I think Glen thought you were saying. |

My "tutorial" showed a SWAP out of a bottle rack & replacing it with a CAN rack, (you can't convert a bottle rack in these machines to vend cans) Also be sure to get the back/rear mounting posts that go along with the can rack, as a can-rack sits way more forward into the bottle door area ( darn near flush actually) while a bottle rack sits back about 1-1/2" , you will also need a full set of can vending shelves to go along with it too ( the can rack) as bottle shelves wont work in a can machine.

Thats interesting... I've never had to change the back post.... Maybe going from cans to bottles doesn't need it?.. I've done both 56's and 63's putting in a bottle stack without trouble.
