Title: A freebie
Post by: Pat Pixley on October 02, 2009, 09:58:04 pm
Well I almost  forgot about my freebie that was given to me yesterday but picked it up today in the rain.
Yep it is a LaCrosse 64   the hinge pins were so rusted that they broke off when I opened the main door,
All the shelve are there so I put them in the garage , did not want someone to think they had scrap metal
and take the machine ( :hopefull: take it now please) so that is why the shelves went into the garage :smile:
 going to pull the compressor and coin mech. and a few other items then off to the salvage yard monday
morning :smile:.

   It's just to show you there are parts machines out there.

I am glad to see someone got to the machine before it was hauled off to the salvage yard. The parts from this machine will help to breathe life back into another.

Congrats!

Well just a note on that hunk of junk Lacrosse  the Condensor was so rotted out that the fins were falling apart as soon as you touched them, and the condensor fan was like swiss cheese full of holes and paper thin.
but the compressor came on and was working fine so I thought I would save the compressor and cut the lines
well the first one I went to cut  came off right at the compressor so much for the compressor .

So what I keep was the shelves (they were all there) the  T lock and backing plate the coin box & cap catcher
 and other parts .

  And today I took it to the scrap yard and made $16.25 off of it  :biggrin:.

  So not to bad for free

Not bad at all. The shelves alone were worth the effort.
