my machine is a lacrosse 120, and looks to be a red-headed step child, but i love it anyway. it is painted up like a Dr. Pepper machine, but in some chipped paint areas it looks like a light blue Pepsi color. to top it off the illuminated sign is Coke. i would just like it to match, and would rather buy a Dr Pepper sign to replace the Coke, rather than paint the box. any ideas on where to fine one? oh i forgot, the there are large Dr. Pepper and Nu Grape stickers on the sides, at least that matches. thanks for any help,

I'd have a sign shop make up anew sign. The graphics can be found online, givethem the measurementsof the plexiglass that's in there now.
YOu can check with any of the parts suppliers ( their banner ads are here throghout the site )

My LaCrosse has a 3D type sign (see pic). I have always wondered if some of those are still around? Wouldn't know how to find one tho..........

I agree with kilroy. I always just go to a sign ship and take them the sign frame. Do some research online and pick the logo that you like best then either put it on CD or on a thumb drive and take it to a local sign shop. They will cut the plexiglass and put on the vinyl logo. A good tip to make it look better is to put the logo on a white piece of plexiglass and then put a thin clear piece of plexiglass in front of the logo and it makes it look like the logo is silk screened on the plastic/glass like they were originally. It really makes it look nice.

I have a large RC-Cola sign out of a LaCrosse ( I'll have to snap a picture later) that I belive would fit, but that's all I'd have other than some misc. trim pieces, (bottle opener bezel, coin-entry,& some electrical parts & harnessses, etc.) what are the signs measurements ( of the current coca~cola sign)?

I think the late 60's RC or Dr Pepper Logo would look good on th machine, and boh should be easy to find.
