Just thought you'd might like to see a new toy I've added to the toybox.. It's a LaCrosse LCV 136-4
( 136 cans/4 selection) Pepsi 12oz. steel can vendor, got in GrandRapids MI. it weighs in at around 250lbs.
Height - 62"
Width - 27"
Depth - 22-1/4"
late 60's / early 70's, in real decent shape, ( about a "7")
some dents on the trim ( charactor marks ) & a little overspray here & there at the bottom near the louvers ( it came from a machine shop) but it seems to rub off with some rubbing compound. I really like the lightup sign! Nice 3-D Pepsi cap, it had the old can opener inside( stuffed in box in the pre-cool area.) & they had added a blank cover plate to fill the opening. they did a nice job at it. the wire serpentine racks were a little bit of a pain to get back in the machine once I had removed them to clean the inside of a few decade's worth of soda-gunk, but it runs cold & vends fine, that's a Coinco S75-9800 coinmech you see, & it just need some new "sold out" lamps & a new F20/T12/CW for the sign. funny thing is although it's a can vendor, they still used bottle crowns to identify the flavors of the three selection buttons,
the first one is, of course, "Pepsi" it's really a plastic Pepsi medalion that also lights up ( to draw your attention to button #1, it is after all a "Pepsi" machine. it vend our new aluminum cans just fine. well just thought you'd all would like to see it...JohnieG

Great machine!! Love the "Now In Cans"' marquee.
Are you going to reinstall the can opener? That would add extra "cool factor" to an already cool machine.

Not at this point, its front panel ( cast aluminum) where you'd have lifted it up to insert the steel can into the opener & then press down on it to pierce the can, is cracked in half, so if I run across another one with an intact door then maybe, yea, a lot of people ( who've never seen such a machine) think its some sort of "can-crusher" 
here's a closeup of the front panel...

What kind of coin mechanism does this machine have? I have a La Crosse CCB 90 9 machine and I am trying to find out what kind of coin changer I need.
Thanks

Hey Johnie,
I was looking at that and thought you'd find that a nice addition to the toolbox!
I finally updated the Soda Machines Section to include two more manufacturers and more than forty new models with photos... Now it's on to the Syrup Dispensers Section...

JohnieG: I have a LCV-136-4 Pepsi machine just like the one you have. Do you have any information on it like when it was made? I am guessing late 60's?
Also does yours have the original container that catches the coins (other than the nickels)? Mine is missing and I am wondering what the original looks like (the guy I got it from thinks he may have it but I don't know if he knows what to look for).
Thanks for any information you can give me.

I just bought a LaCrosse LCV 136-4, and I'm having a problem with it. The C.R.E.M's in the coin mech are staying in the de-energized state. So when I put a quarter in it's spitting it right back out. I bought another coin mech off ebay and it's doing the same thing. What are the odds that both have the same problem? Anyway I'm thinking it's something beyond the coin mech within the vending machine. Anyone have any ideas? Or more info on the LaCrosse LCV 136-4, I'm having no luck finding a service manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff.
