Latest Buy--RC Embossed Ideal 55

[MoonDawg]

       Hey Tim, you even got casters, that's pretty rare. I think the RC yellow is nice
too, I wonder what beverage company painted it green?
       I got this one 2 weeks ago for $20.00, had a glasco coin box "shell" but no cap
catcher or rack although the cooling system works just fine.
       This one was yellow,then painted white and now red.

MoonDawg--and I thought I got a good deal! 

Not sure on the repaint.  There are "O-So Good" Stickers on each end that were painted over as well.  I suspect that it was being used in a gase station or shop somewhere and somebody just painted it with some leftover paint.  Glad they did because I can't find much rust on it!

The casters need a little grease but they still roll and rotate pretty well.  I am looking forward to working on this machine.

Hello Tim
Great find on the RC slider. I just got done buying five Ideal 55 sliders,Orange Crush, Squirt, Nesbitt's, Pepsi:Cola, Hires, and a Dr Pepper 35 slider. So I will be busy for a while.
Just so you know we (Fun-Tronics) have slider racks with the gate. The racks we have are stainless steel,and will dispense the plastic bottles as well as the glass bottles. So if you need a rack give us a call. Have fun restoring your RC slider.

That's what I thought. I will post pictures of them in the rough, and then maybe as I go along I will post more. The guy I bought them from started on them so some of them are tore down and some aren't. Curtis always has great graphic ideas, so I think I am going to pick his brain on some paint scemes for some of them. I want to put crushy on the Orange Crush one. If anyone has any other ideas on some paint scemes on some of them I'd love to here them, or see pictures.
