Need help on compressor info for lacrosse 136-4.

Bought the machine for 40 bucks and wondering if I should buy a new compressor or one that would fit because most parts for this machine are obsolete, repair it, or scrap it.

Thanks.

"Bought the machine for 40 bucks and wondering if I should buy a new compressor or one that would fit because most parts for this machine are obsolete*, repair it, or scrap it."

shot from the hip eh?  tounge   Sounds like you had an impulse buy moment,  Seriously though, it depends on your intent,  so are you really are going to keep it because you find it interesting, flip it, or dump it like a cheap date. ( Tsk! no commitment) a new compressor wholesales for around $200 for an R12 1/4HP & double that for basic labor. 

Now go get 'em Tex.

*ALL of these machines are obsolete! but they are so addicting! now if you excuse me I have to get back to staring into my VF56 Faygo machines Correct change only light... wow

Ok, got another question.  Is there any refrigeration unit/deck that would fit this particular unit.  Is there anything that is universal, if I wanted to replace the deck an compressor?
Thanks

Ok, a deck out of a LaCrosse 90 or 100 models should fit fine, but it will have to be out of a LaCrosse.

I don't know where you are located, but I have one in working condition for sale, but it would have to be shipped if you're not local to southeastern Michigan.

How much am I looking at for a refrigeration deck?  I am located in the northwest suburbs of Illinois, near Chicago.  Is there anywhere near me that would have it?  Would another deck fit, like a vendo or a dixie narco?  All I want is to keep my beer cold...
