Looking for any information on this machine. I can not find anything on this one. I just love the button sign on it.

Never seen one with door on the right?

dav2no1, I never noticed that detail until you mentioned it, but you're right, the vast majority of soft drink bottle vending machines have the door on the left.

Here's a similar (not a twin) La Crosse Coca Cola vending machine with the door on the right:

Here's a La Crosse Pepsi vending machine with the door on the right:

Here's a La Crosse 7 Up vending machine with the door on the right:

So perhaps a right hand door was a La Crosse peculiarity?

Rickwright, It's with a certain amount of trepidation that I provide this link (because I'm not a Facebook fan):

Just finished up this LaCrosse LC64 it was just a interior and rewire and compressor and coin mech job . Been looking at my Lacrosse 7Up and think I might do the same thing.

The OP seems to know a lot about soft drink vending machines, and has a contact email (I swapped out the symbols in the email address with words):

This is such a fascinating piece of history! That "button sign" you mentioned really does add a unique charm. It's always a treat to see collectors sharing these obscure finds and hoping the community can shed some light. For anyone doing research, having readily available text for video resources can be a game-changer. I highly recommend checking out https://getyoutubetranscript.org/ – it's incredibly useful for extracting captions if you ever come across video content that might hold clues!

What a fascinating piece of history! That Lacrosse Coca-Cola vending machine is truly a unique find, and I completely agree, the "button sign" is a fantastic detail. It's always a treat to see collectors trying to piece together the story behind such vintage items. For anyone looking to visualize how such a machine might have looked in its heyday, or even imagine it in a different setting, you might find an AI image generator useful. For instance, https://nano-banana-pro.top could offer some interesting creative possibilities for similar historical objects. It's wonderful that you're seeking more information!
