Picked up this Orange Crush Slider , we'll actually found it on Craigslist one day last week, Made a deal with a guy and had it shipped to me yesterday.
I just got it out of my truck last night and snapped some photos this morning before work, Can't wait to tear into it.
It's complete, rack, coin mech (don't think original, as it looks like from a glasco?) cap catcher and even the hex drive opener.. plus it runs/cools.
body looks pretty decent, surface rust, trim looks pretty good, will see how it'll polish up and even lid isn't bad, but will most likely replace.

Looking to do a full restore.. unless I get a good offer on it.. biggrin

Nice score, John!  I'll offer a good, hearty congratulations on getting a nice machine...is that good enough?   tounge

I think I saw that on CL if memory serves, but didn't feel like shipping it or anything.

Geat score. That is one of my favorite sliders. I like the large embossing. What a great score! Did they give you any history on the machine?

It was from out East, and the guy was a great guy, put it on a pallet and brought to my shippers terminal for gas money. Only cost me $100 to ship it to me.
He said he bought years ago at a sale, used it a bit and was going to restore it but decided to sell it..

Looks good! Post up some pictures if you do any restoration, the old sliders look sharp after alittle elbow grease

John I would be interested in buying it from you. If we don't strike a deal, and you do restore it I have the decals created for this Orange Crush cooler. Give me a call, or I'll try and get in touch with you today.
