I am very new to this..I own a 150 that need a happy home. twice a year I turn the compressor on to cycle the freon. I have ownd the unit for near 20 yrs. Before me the staff of the telephone company had it. they raffled it out when it cost more than 15 cent to purchase bottles..
can I get some help from the experts here???  I am curious what i might be worth?

Hi & welcome Yrret! As always this depends on the condition, brand (Coke, Pepsi, RC Cola, generic) model#, running,
complete or not...etc. did you find one that's simular in the soda machine section? but in general between ~$200 up to around $1200 in average condition (that's a machine that's complete,working,solid chassis,has the rack,coinmech,not all beat up/general wear&tear not withstanding ie:no big dents,creases, worn paint is ok in my book too, perhaps you can post a picture & get more feed back luv to see it  '<img'>

Hello Terry,

This is a smaller version of the Ideal 500A, another Canadian model, which you can see in the Soda Machines Section under Ideal.
I'm really not sure myself of values on these particular models but would tend to lean in the "less than $1000", similar to what Johnie has stated...
I would like to include this model in the Soda Machines Section if you didn't mind sharing a photo or two...  If so, could you take another photo from opposite side as the one here, and attempt to get the complete machine in the picture...?

My six cents,

Nice machine! I've seen this model here in a Pontiac MI antique store they were asking $199.00, but it wasn't as clean as yours, so in my option between $250-500.00 it's a late model, unembossed (decals & paint determine the brand of soda it's selling) from the 60's as I recall, next step up from a 55. It's a bigger vendor but not so big as to discourage lugging it down the basement stairs '<img'>   as with most machines bigger isn't always better, hey I'd buy it! (when you get into the 300 series now your looking at something thats getting pretty heavy)
