hello & welcome. here's rc cola model, you didn't mention what brand your machine was. a LaCrosse 81 &100 models can go for between $150 up to $500, but it all depends on condition, completeness, ( does it have all of it's shelves, coinmech, lock & key. etc.) brand, (Pepsi, 7up, RC, etc.) running or not, etc. they are usally are on the lower end of the machine value scale, as opposed to Vendo's & Cavaliers. in the same size range. LaCrosse made machines it seems for everyone except Coke. Pepsi was there main customer in the north, and RC Cola. in the south.
Basic soda machine rule No. 3 is, "bigger isn't better",. a smaller LaCrosse like a 56 or a 64 model will be worth more than a larger 81/100 model. good luck, hope it's a nice one. PS they are built like brick out-houses, & no mater what model, they are all heavy buggers! lots of steel!

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 a big fan of them... Guess I like the smaller ones and something about the door on the right hand side, just doesn't do it for me... kinda like driving on the wrong side of the road, (Sorry Dave)  '>

thanks for the info I think its ugly as sin lol and I agree bigger isnt better, lol... I was just wondering and hey how come people dont steal vending machine photos from ebay and put them up on the site, there are always rare things on there coin mechs, parts all kinds of good pics to help people out.
I got a whole slew of pics from another hobby that I get from ebay lol

I can't speak for Jim, or any one else here, but you said it yourself - it's stealing.
Even if it's just a picture, or a description of an item, it belongs to the owner, and I'd rather ask for permission to use it. I have enough people (work, family ex girlfriends) ticked off at me....
Shrug, just my .02

I'm of the same belief as Kilroy and that this, as easy as it is to acquire these images, is stealing someones photos, files or what ever digital information it may be.
Almost all images on SMC have prior approval; but in retrospect, I cannot legally prove I have permission to use some images...
I have had people request the use of some images that have went into a small publication and others I had to remind them that SMC requests people to ask for permission to use images from our Site. In every case where someone asked for permission, I granted the use of such image(s) with a credit to Soda-Machines.Com.
Using the images you have acquired may not get you into any trouble since they're for personal use, but it can lead to problems in some cases...
