just a quicky...Found this embossed 7up Ideal 55A while I was out & about yesterday. It was peaking out from the back deck of this gents lake home,  so I took a chance & left a card, got a call back earlier this evening & $100 later it got a nice ride in the back of my truck, no rack, but a working solid machine with a complete coinmech and the cap-catcher was inside, so not a bad day after all! (the pictures shown were it "in the wild" so to speak.)

I have already gotten it torn to bit's in my garage & found about $3.00 in 60's dimes hiding inside the coinbox ( sorry to say I had to drill the lock) the date on the coinmech read August,1958. The gentleman I bought it form said he may still have the rack in his basement somewhere & He'd give me a call if he runs across it  
( his wife is having him "dig" things up for a neighborhood garage sale this week end.

I wish I could find these for a 100 bucks! That's a good score, even for a 7UP.
