Hi Johnie, thanks for your reply. I just picked up the machine and figured I'd start my search here. I am not on facebook.
I tried posting pictures here, but was not able to. Possibly they were too big.

A rare machine & literature will be a toughy... but hopefully someone somewhere has some documentation. have you tried some of the soda-museums?  Also you can post on the facebook classic soda machines & Vintage soda machines groups to cast a larger net (so to speak)

Hello, looking for photo(s) or sales/service literature showing a Lyon 200 vender machine.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Nice!

Sorry for my delayed update. This wonderful machine found a new home back in December of 2024

I think it was R134, not a 100% sure but think that ios what I saw on the bottle, so when they guy came and added freon, to the machine, the machine was off and when he added it it fired up and all was good, but after a while of running the machine now only would get to 65 degree F where before it was at 46 degree f. talked to the owner and now taking it out to his shop for he can look at it.
one question I have is there is a pencil filter on this, would that prevent it from flowing properly, causing it to be clogged or plugged so it wouldn't run the freon properly. I know it is warm when touching it, but the lines going through maching are getting colled going up into the maching walls, not sure how far as panels are all on it, but from what I can see.
I have a new pencil filter to take with me if it needs to be replaced, also how many pounds of freon is requred ruffly, also what is the proper freon requried for it, I will ensure we are using the right stuff and find out what is causing this to not cool down right.

Did the guy re-charge it with R-12 or R-12 substitute (or maybe even R-134)?

So today they guy came back and added more freon, The machine been off for a week, waiting for him, he added .04 lb of freon he said and seamed like it was working, he said it was a little low, but been on for most of the day and it isn't getting that cold. So now back to calling the refirgeration guy again as there is something wrong here. I mentioned I purchased new pencil filters for it and he said he saw the jump when adding the freon, I am not sure as I said this isn't my expertise what to look for now. I am wondering if the filter is plugged. So far the rad is warm on the top and bottom, the line coming off the compressor is cold and the filter is warm on both sides, so thinking its running through it or flooded and not falshing off.
Question I have what would this system require in freon needed, he uses a scale to see what amount he is adding. has the gauges on it, but didn't see the numbers.
if you touch the lines going to the evaporator its cold but unless I tear this a part not sure how far past it the temp stays that way, the one side of wall is cool, and know all the lines are attached. Its funny how just adding a new theremostat has increased the temp about ten degrees and isn't getting as cold as it was, and there is no leak on it as the pressure stays charged.
Any ideal what, where or any ideal what I can look for or it could be. The guy I am using deals with walk in coolers so not equiped for the parts to get, Why I ordered the pencil filters, Is it better to put a bigger filter and change the thin line on the capilery line as its tinny that comes off a 1/4" line. Just a thought this might be were it is flooding the filter? just a thought.
Anyway and though or help would be aprreciated thanks
