I purchased a cap catcher for my Ideal 55. The mounting holes lined up- and the bottle opener fits through the window.
My question- the top of the cap catcher sits about 1/2" above the chrome trim plate. All the pictures I have seen of other 55's have a gap between the chrome and the top of the catcher.
I am thinking I purchased a cap catcher off of a Glasco slider?

Can't say for sure it's from a Glasco, but yes, the cap catcher should not be extending above the top of the machine

Can you post a picture?
The Glasco has a flat portion in bottom of the hole where the bottle opener is. The Ideal should be oval.

I had a Glasco catcher available and set it on an Ideal. The top went about a 1/4 inch past the bottom of the trim. So it might be a Glasco.

You have a Glasco catcher. Maine T has some Ideal catchers for sale if interested.

Hmmm. I'm 0-2 on eBay purchases. This item was listed by the
seller as an Ideal catcher. Maybe they were saying it was
"ideal" for a soda machine. Pun intended!
If anyone has the correct cap catcher that they would like
to trade for my Glasco- let me know!
Otherwise, I am happy with this for the time being.
Thanks again everyone- this forum is a great resource.

Contact the seller and see if they'll take it back since it's not what they advertised. |

Or just use ebay's case program, you'll even get your shipping back!! If he said its an Ideal, it's not, its a Glasco and you will win. If he said it will fit a Glasco and Ideal, then that is your bad not his because it did fit and you will lose the case.
I probably bid against you on that one!!

Actually, I believe this machine was originally a Canada Dry non-embossed. You can still see the "Pistaschio Green" under scratches in the white paint, and there is also still a "Property of Canada Dry, Denver, CO" ID tag under the coin machine bracket.
I have had enough brain-damage with eBay seller claims lately, so I think I am just going to hang on to the Glasco catcher for the time being.

You could also either make a bracket for the back of the glasco to fit your hole location, or remove the screws in your slider and relocate them to fit a glasco catcher.

That's what I would do. Can't you just drill new holes a little lower?

Yes it is. In a few short day's you get to see it in person.  |

I ended up drilling new mounting holes, lowering the bottle opener and mounting the Glasco cap catcher about 2" lower than the standard Ideal catcher.
Thanks for the info everyone.

In case anyone wanted to know or was planning on lowering the mounting holes- the metal below the factory bottom cap catcher mounting hole is much thinner than the other holes.
I had to drill a bigger hole and install a #10-32 fine thread nutsert.
