I'm not terribly familiar with these. Assume you mean missing some of the gate racking?
How would this affect your opinion of the machine?
Thanks,
Chris

Good eye Glen - you can see in the picture that one of the 'ribs' for the slider rack is missing. You can still see the tab to which it would have been welded.
IF... (big if) it is the same as the Glasco rack, you are probably looking in the $200 range to replace it. If you are lucky the broken rib is still with it and can be welded back in place. Not a show stopper, but certainly a negotiating point.

Wonder why someone would do that to the rack ? Makes no sense.

I can only assume it was either:
a.) to open it up so bottles could be pulled out "free vend" style
b.) grates broke (found 2 to be missing) after a lot of use
I can probably fab a couple up pretty quick and weld them back in.
We'll see how it goes.
Appreciate all the comments on this subject!

Those rails did not break
they were cut off.

In that case, that's terrible.

I'd sell you a nice original Ideal or Glasco rack for $200. I'm almost positive they will fit a Quikold.

Thank you for the offer. I'll see where I land on this project and if it's needed, I'll be in touch.

I've had several conversations with the seller. Trying to work a deal.
