She email back to me. This is what she said:
Quote
I can't get to it to measure, but I am guessing it is 36" X 24"  wide, maybe 4 ft high.  It opens from the top and my husband said it worked and stayed cool  the last time it was plugged in (1980s.)    HIRES is printed on it in blue (I don't believe it is embossed).  Needs rust taken off of it and shined up.  Let us know when you will be in the area again.  I would like someone to have it that will take it and fix it up.


Sounds to me like it is an Ideal 55, since she said it worked in the 80's (even though she did not mention a coin mech). If it was an embossed Quikold,  I would be all over it right now.

I'm trying to figure out how I can justify a trip from Oregon to the San Diego area now even when I'm heading almost that far south in October.

No one told me when I bought my first machine a year ago that these suckers were addicting!  Oh, the thought of a Hires cooler!  Not only would I get a cooler, but a root beer one!  <sigh>

Hhhmm... Quikold standard or a Slider.... either way.... Cool!!!!!
Somebody better grab it! I would think a harder model to find...
It would almost have to be embossed wouldn't it?... Did Hires do
anything not embossed? See if they understand what embossing is...
I would think if it was a sticker or paint they would say the letters were coming off...
Would stink if someone drove all the way for a decaled deep freeze.... '<img'>

She is sending me a picture of the machine tomorrow. If it is worth the 10 hour drive, I'll go get it. According to Walter's 3rd book, Ideal produced unembossed generic machines also...we'll see tomorrow. '<img'>

Tom,

Did she state if the Hires logo was a decal or embossed...?

My six cents,

 HIRES is printed on it in blue (I don't believe it is embossed).  

An embossed Hires 55 slider has white letters inside a blue circle

Petey,
I am in touch with the woman and am hoping to get a pic of it tonight. I am interested in it, but it all depends on what exactly it is. I was going to try to make a special trip out there if I like it, but if you are available and don't mind picking it up I would appreciate it. I would gladly reimburse you for the gas. I can definately get out there in the next month or so to pick it up if you end up doing this. I'll buy you lunch too.
