I'm trying to get all of my reasearch and find the places to get all of my parts and decal for a restoration.  I figured before i just jumo in I might want to have all of my ducks in a row.  Three questions.  1, does anyone stock RC Cola decals?
2.  I need a bottle door for a vendo H90C, where do I FInd one or does anyone have tips on how to get one made.  3.  does anyone know where or how to find info on La Crosse machines?  I have looked for days and have come with a whole lot of nothing, save for this site.  Justin  

P.S. Pics are coming soon

Good luck on the lacrosse info. I have heard that it is really hard to find parts and info for the mahcines. For decals I would try www.sodadecals.com. They aren't on the website but give them a call. If they don't have them they might be able to direct you to someone who does. As for the bottle door I don't know. For something like that you might have to look for a while for someone with a parts machine. What is wrong with yours. if it isn't too bad you might take it to fabrication shop and have them fix it. It would be expensive but it could be your only hope. I don't know if it would be possible but I have a Vendo 127 door. It is way too tall but you might be able to cut it down and weld it to fit. Or even use it to fix yours. If you end up having to do that I will give it too you if you want it. I hope this helps.

Thanks, the door on my Vendo is missing.   Before I was given the machine someone broke into the shop where it was at and tried to pry the machine open and took the door.  I have talked to a local glass compant and they can make me one usinf the metal that they use to make shower doors, but I haven't decided hoe that would look.  By they way, my welding skills stink.  Ha Ha.  Justin

Justin I have an idea. There is a machine on ebay #3880516140 that I believe is a Vendorlator 90. I dont know where you are located but it is in Martinsville Indiana. That is about 130 miles from my house. It says that the machine doesn't work and the opening bid is $25. I don't see this machine going for much since it doesn't work and isn't complete. If you want to try to but the machine for what you would want to pay for a bottle door I will go pick it up and send you the door and keep whats left of the machine for payment for the 260 mile round trip drive. If this sounds like something you would be interested in please let me know. My email is jdloman2000@yahoo.com. Lets check with the rest of the members to be sure it is a VF90.

Josh - Yeah that looks like a VF90 to me, it's the baby brother to my monster VF117! One thing I did notice thought was that the trim is pretty screwed up and sometimes that can lend itself to a trashed door. But, for $26....It might be worth it. BTW, I live about 20 mins from Martinsville, If you guys want, I could always go take a look at it to see if the door is wrecked or not. Let me know. If not and neither of you fellas want it, For that cheap, I might grab it for the the nametag on the lower grill!! '<img'>

That would be fine with me as I really don't want the machine. I was just wanting to find justin a door for his. But I will look I might just have the script for you on my VMC81 that I am parting out. If I have one I don't want anything for it. But if justin is interested would you get that machine for him. If not I don't mind the drive as I have family that I can go visit in Plainfield. The more that I think about it I think my 81 is missing the script but I will look tonight.

Well I found a pic of my 81 in an old post and it doesn't have the script so you might want to get this machine anyway.

Thank you for the kind words Kito. I love this hobby and this site has been priceless to me and I like to help its members in any way that I can. I know that I prbably would have given up on my first machine if I hadn't found this site.

I may have an H90 bottle door for you, Justin.  Let me take a look tonight and I'll post a pic if I can find it.  Feel free to email me if I forget.
