Title: Newbie: LaCrosse Machine Free Vend
Post by: gordy1191 on September 08, 2007, 10:44:39 am
Hello!  I recently purchased a Pepsi LaCrosse Vending machine...it works fine but I'd really like it to vend for free. I cant find the plate that tells the model number of the machine but if I were to take a shot at it I'd say it's a 1970's La Crosse CCV-265...or something around there...it looks very similar to those models. It uses the serpintine vending rack thing (Which for a side question...is there a better way to load? I tried dropping the cans from the top and the impact made 1-3 cans explode....whatever)....ok....so my final question is one that seems to be reoccurring on this forum...but I can t seem to find an answer that fits my model. Is there a way to get this machine for vend for free (or "free play")? I've heard there are switches for this...my room mate and I were just going to start cutting and reattaching wires.  Is there a better way to do this?! If so great.   I'll post some pics later. Thanks for all help!

DON'T CUT THE WIRES!
Over in the Coin Mech area there is a thread on making a free vend switch (http://soda-machines.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,29/topic,871.0/).
