Well finally got this little LaCrosse up & running, first of the season for mr anyway, it needed a re-wiring, and the light-up signs fixture need to be replaced (as it was removed at some point) I came up with this instant-start circline lamp setup, it does a nice job Illuminating the 3-D pepsi cap. the other neat thing about this machine is the vending manager, setup, just below the coinmech. it counts off every fouth coin & then "tips" a little flap inside the coin chute & deposits that coin into a seperate locked coinbox, it also has a vending meter to keep the store-owner "honest"...

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001... Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

Another really nice (and clean machine)... was the clean good fortune or elbow grease? Like the light setup - is it pressure switch activated when the door closes or always on?

The round shape of the light is absolutely perfect for the same sized round sign. Great match-making.

(& rubbing compond) the light is always on, unless you turn it off with the push-button switch I installed on the side of metal box that holds the "correct change only" light..you just can't see it from this angle...

johnieG, nice job!
Not to get off-topic, but I've been meaning to ask if you could post a pic of the '59 El Camino. I love the '59 Chevys. Almost grabbed one locally a few months back but the rust was too much.
Thanks, Bob
