I picked this up last fall and have been tinkering with it. Painted, new decals, and electrical. doesn't have the correct cap catcher. It's not a A+ restoration as I didn't do the inside (wish now that i would have) of course it's missing essential parts , but great for a back porch cooler or up at the cabin.
It's for sale for the what i have into it if someone is interested, see the machines for sale page.
does someone make the graphic that goes under the lid, if so I might repaint that and apply the graphic?

Looks nice. Did you check sodajerks for the decal? I know they have the lid decal for the 55's. Was the lid chrome originally?

Wow, very nice job! If Soda Jerk Works or Funtronics doesn't have it, Eric might be able to help you out with that graphic. He does a great job and is super-helpful.

I did this decal graphic for Signguy...
It would be a lot of work for Signguy but if he could remove the lid and scan sections and send them to me I could make a image for the inner liner of a 35.
But if your just gonna sell it.... I'd steel wool the inside and hammertone
silver paint the liner and tub.
Turned out nice. Glad I could help.

Yes, Props out to Eric for helping me out on the fishtail graphic. He created the AI file and I have a buddy with a vinyl cutting machine and he ran it off for me in trade from some computer help. I don't know if anyone nicer than Eric for helping me out on this and a few others, especially for a guy I've never met in person! Thanks Eric!!!!
I'll see what I can do on the graphic for underneath the lid. Probably couldn't scan it but could photograph and measure? would that help??? Not a huge deal either way, but if I did have the graphic I would paint the inside of the lid.

Your welcome! If you can get a good straight sharp shot of it and send it to me I'll see if I can redo it...

I have the decal for the 55 that I could scan. It's different than what's on your machine but may be easier than removing the lid. Would also sell it to you if you wanted the real decal as I'm not going to use it on my machine.

Thanks Bryan, but yours is for a 55 and I need one for 35. I'm gonna shoot some pics and send to Eric and see what he can come up with and if it works... and anyone needs one done in black I'll talk with my buddy with the vinyl cutter and see what he'd need for one. can't imagine it would be much as he shared with me how CHEAP that vinyl really is.... it's the time and effort of sizing, and then weeding out the unused vinyl and applying to the transfer sheet.
Eric, I'll see what I can do with the photo.
Thanks!
John

The decal that I am familliar with, are ideal 55 operating
instructions in black ink and printed on a silver background. The
entire sheet covered the inside of the lid so paintwork is only needed on the surrounding lip.
