Caligirl,
  Is there a pepsi logo "embossed" (raised letters) on the front side? If so, is there one or two dots in between the words Pepsi Cola. This will help us determine its vintage.

Hey Cal you have a complete late model Ideal 55 Slider. You should find it in the soda machines section here.           If it were rusted and dented it would be worth $300. just for parts. If it were a clean original $500 to $750 and in restored condition $1500  to $2000
      Welcome to this site and to our west coast chapter

Is this anything like what you have? Select Ideal on the left and click 55 B at the top.

Ideal 55-B

NICE!!!!!!!!

Looks like you have a great machine. Compact size is great. Vends anround 50 bottles.

Those machines are the ones I remember the most from my childhood.

Sweet looking machine Caligirl! You definitely have a keeper. It's uncommon to find a complete Ideal 55 that looks as good as yours. Welcome to SMC, hope you stay around awhile!

Caligirl, has the box been repainted? The Base, coin tower, and  cap catcher were. Originally they were black.  I like your dark blue better.......
