Title: La Crosse 15 Slider in action
Post by: sc1101 on November 28, 2013, 06:32:22 pm
I just got this slider delivered yesterday. The vending mechanism needed some work but I was able to get it working perfect. Replaced a missing spring and reinstalled old one in the correct place. Next is rewiring a new cord. The old one is toast. Here is a video I took of it.

That's the most compact coin-op soda vendor I've ever seen. I'm amazed they packed a compressor into that thing. Overall shape reminds me of a portable turntable.

Will it vend multiple size bottles?

Really nice Seth, I never saw that one or knew LaCrosse made a slider. I'll have to try find to one to add to my slider collection.

Thanks for making and posting the video. I picked one up a few years ago but it's missing the insides.Now at least I know what the innards look like.

        I would have enjoyed photo's of that machine.......that video is fantastic.  :happydrinkers:

        This was designed to be also used as a countertop model?

Sweet machine and not seen often.  Not sure why they would have made a machine with that low of a capacity but glad it survived!

Thanks all. You guys know I'm into the rare and unique. I thought this fit into the collection good even for a 60's machine. I'm glad you guys liked the video. Pixel, I think it will vend different size bottles it is very deep. I haven't tried it yet though. Lol Bob, I thought you would get a kick out of this machine. Tim, All I could think of was it must have been designed for an office type setting. Somewhere with limited space and lots of klepto's around.  :biggrin:
