Hello  USMC Vet

Welcome to the SMC.  I just completed making my V63 into a can machine. Read the thread below that I started about Can Racks.

First you are going to have to buy a can rack & then I can help with the rest. I guess I could sell my rack. Let me know if you are interested.

Yes one other item. Can you post a picture of your machine?

Welcome to SMC, USMC Vet! Good to have a former "devil dog" aboard!! I myself am a former active duty/current reserve squid. Looks like a good machine, those can racks can be found on Ebay by themselves but can be few and far between.

Hey

Resident expert?  Wow I have come along way. I did just convert my V-63 to a can machine the switching back to a bottle machine would take not more than an hour.

My lucky break was figuring out that Can/Bottle racks are interchangable between V56 & V-63's. You then have some minor shelf issues to handle but not that hard to overcome.

I did it to make my machines more valuable in the "Honey DO" reasale market that most people are in. Most spouses do not understand the excitment of having a coke/beer machine in the garage.
