This looks like the Lacrosse 15 in the SMC database.. http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=386&Itemid=14 It would be nice to get some more info on this one to complete the database. Someone here needs that machine |

As Ken stated, it appears to be a LaCrosse 15 but may be missing the vending coin mech which would be inside toward the front where the empty space is. These coolers don't pop up frequently so finding the coin/vend mech could pose a problem.

I picked-up one last year locally on CL. Missing the innards,done up with Sundrop decals over yellow paint.
Mine has a original cap catcher hanging front and center though.

Good observation SIGNGUY! I'm in Green Bay. I don't get up your way too often but I never know where a lead for a machine will take me.You better mark your territory heavily up there.  I just missed that $50.00 Vendo 63 or Cav.64 ,can't remember for sure, in Wausau a few months back.  Did you see that one? That LaCrosse cooler was in Neenah and listed for quite awhile.I think he wanted 150.00 and I offered 75.00 and he took it.Solid but needs a total restoration.I found a pic I saved from his listing. |

Yeah, I think so Pat, If I can find or have made to match the exact same decals. I thought about trying to tape them off and work around them but that's kinda cobby.The side decals are the tea cup with "Sun Drop" bottle cap layover and then "Golden Cola" spelled underneath kinda in the saucer. I guess a pic would help to visualize!
I don't know the real origins of Sun Drop,a little help maybe, and if someone knows about repopin' the decals?

Johnnyfizz you need to get a hold of a graphic art's shop , one that you trust and get them to come out and get the measurements and pictures , That's what I do . That would be so sweet all finished up  |

That would be so sweet all finished up If it helps, you can PM me good straight on photos of the logos that you want reproduced and I will turn them into cleaned up photoshop files for you. You could then take the files to a local screen-printer or just make vinyl decals from them. I love doing work reproducing old graphics for screen printing and decals. BTW, are any of these coolers embossed? Tod |

Johnnyfizz, I know Sun Drop is a popular soda in North Carolina. It originates out of St. Louis, MO back in 1928 according to their website, Sundrop.net. It's my wife's favorite soda (she's from North Carolina). I'm hoping to make a Sun Drop cooler out of a generic Ideal 35/55 or even V-110 sometime, so let me know where you find to get the decals made! I'd be interested in a set as well!
