Title: Re: restoring a LaCrosse Post by: jasmine64 on June 29, 2008, 10:15:36 am Gave up and sold the one I had. it was a nightmare.
I did have a bunch of pics on here with my posts but I didnt get far and bailed. Title: Re: restoring a LaCrosse Post by: David D on June 29, 2008, 11:36:12 am Agreed, I restored this small Lacrosse, I think it was a 48. For such a small machine this thing weighed a ton. I'm not a big Pepsi fan so I ended up making it a coke machine. I ended up giving it to my parents since they wanted a small soda machine.

I do plan on keeping mine as a Pepsi Machine , I just finish the compressor tonight, and I have to make modifications to the cabinet Johnie G and I were talking today and he brought up something I was thinking about doing :oops: and we both said I should do it so it will be done . Then it is off to have it soda blasted and painted :tounge: ( I hope it goes that smooth) there will be photos :smile:.
