Just thought you'd might like to see a new toy I've added to the toybox.. It's a LaCrosse LCV 136-4
( 136 cans/4 selection) Pepsi 12oz. steel can vendor, got in GrandRapids MI. it weighs in at around 250lbs.
Height - 62"
Width - 27"
Depth - 22-1/4"
late 60's / early 70's, in real decent shape, ( about a "7")
some dents on the trim ( charactor marks ) & a little overspray here & there at the bottom near the louvers ( it came from a machine shop) but it seems to rub off with some rubbing compound. I really like the lightup sign! Nice 3-D Pepsi cap, it had the old can opener inside( stuffed in box in the pre-cool area.) & they had added a blank cover plate to fill the opening. they did a nice job at it. the wire serpentine racks were a little bit of a pain to get back in the machine once I had removed them to clean the inside of a few decade's worth of soda-gunk, but it runs cold & vends fine, that's a Coinco S75-9800 coinmech you see, & it just need some new "sold out" lamps & a new F20/T12/CW for the sign. funny thing is although it's a can vendor, they still used bottle crowns to identify the flavors of the three selection buttons,
the first one is, of course, "Pepsi" it's really a plastic Pepsi medalion that also lights up ( to draw your attention to button #1, it is after all a "Pepsi" machine. it vend our new aluminum cans just fine. well just thought you'd all would like to see it...JohnieG

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Not at this point, its front panel ( cast aluminum) where you'd have lifted it up to insert the steel can into the opener & then press down on it to pierce the can, is cracked in half, so if I run across another one with an intact door then maybe, yea, a lot of people ( who've never seen such a machine) think its some sort of "can-crusher" 
here's a closeup of the front panel...

What kind of coin mechanism does this machine have? I have a La Crosse CCB 90 9 machine and I am trying to find out what kind of coin changer I need.
Thanks

I was looking at that and thought you'd find that a nice addition to the toolbox!
I finally updated the Soda Machines Section to include two more manufacturers and more than forty new models with photos... Now it's on to the Syrup Dispensers Section...
