Please feel free to use these pictures on this site!!  I just want to get it cleaned up and cooling down. Replace some nicle dime parts maybe a little paint.

Depends on what parts you are looking for.  I have a LaCrosse 90 and the parts are not the easiest to come by.  From what I gather they are mostly an upper midwest machine and generally around that area.  I have managed to find a few parts for mine, but still hunting for more.  Just post it on here and somebody will tell you if they have it or know where to get it.

Well first off I let the machine settle after transport. I never did lay it down and the trip was pretty docile. After the two day's of sitting I plug it in, its seems to be running quit smoothly. I left the room after a couple of minutes and came back in 1/2 hour later to find that it popped the circuit breaker and burn wire smell. now it just trips the breaker. I am waiting for the key to be mailed to me so I can troubleshoot (I drove off and left the key behind). I was just wondering where to get parts and info for it? I want to get it working real good and vending free as well as cleaning it up inside and out. No major restoration just A good reliable beer and pop cooler.

Hey Pat
   What I have found is my compressor is bad and the cooling fan for the compressor cooling coils is also bad. Having problems finding somebody local that wants to work R12. I am trying to locate a complete refrigeration unit working good. Then just replacing my own. Any ideas. THANK YOU
