Title: Lacrosse pepsi Post by: on September 06, 2004, 05:25:08 pm Hi,
I'm a newbie here and need some help in identifying the model of the LaCrosse Pepsi bottle vending machine that I picked up this summer. It looks like the tag that should have the model number is missing. From the price shown, 30 cents, I am thinking maybe it is from the 70s, perhaps 80s?? I have a couple urls attached where you can find pictures of it. I also need to find a flourescent bulb for the light fixture inside. The old bulb was removed before I bought it and it seems to be an odd size. Something like 11 inches with the medium bipins. Any clue what the number of the bulb should be or where I might be able to buy one? Thanks for your help.

The peice the coins go into from the slot. If not you are missing a peice. You see that metal wire peice sticking out of the coin mech about middle. If you push down on that a few times. I can't really tell looks like it is stuck down or missing in those curved slots. Those small gray metal wires are hard to see in a picture. It should click and ring up the proper amount. The machine will then click and make notices as in ready to vend a soda. As for the light, I was lucky on my machine to already have the bulb included. You just need to measure from terminal to terminal. I can't remeber it is the outside of both connectors or inside. If you look through the posts people explain how that work. Most bulbs are within a certain lengh anyway. It also looks like to can detach the whole entire light assemble. If not you can replace it with all new light fixture from a home improvment store. Should be standard 110/117 volts into that transformer.
hope that helps a little. Also if you look on the list they have diagrams up of certain con mechs and it will give you a better idea of all the parts needed and they can point you out to exactly what you need to hit to register up a sale. later, ussexplorer Title: Lacrosse pepsi Post by: johnieG on September 07, 2004, 09:06:15 am Hi & welcome, you've got an LaCrosse 90 bottle vendor!
I'll check inside my LVC-100 later & let you know what bulb size you'll need for the lightup sign,( should be the same) and ussexplorer is correct, you are missing the coin acceptor/slug rejector portion of the coinmech, looked like a Coinco S75-9800 B model. , so if you can't find the rejector off of an old parts mech. then any 9800 A/ B model ( 115 volt) will plug right in to replace it... here's a shot of my LaCrosse 100/RC Cola the lamp is a F15T12/CW (cool white) |
