Hello Guys,

Brand new to the form.  I recently purchased an Ideal 55 slider at a swap meet.  No rust, no dents, runs great gets real cold, but as usual no coin mech, or slider assm.
paid $100.  Soooooooo the very next day of the swap meet I find another one that looked similar to mine only bigger. (Ideal 85 slider) This one "HAD" a coin mech. on it.
but no slider mech either. The guy just wanted to get rid of it so he wouldnt have to haul it back home. Sooooooo $50 later I have two. My questions is will the 15 cent
coin mech from the 85 fit on the 55?  and if so should I drill out the lock on the coin mech. or is it easy to find a key?  and how hard is it to find the slider for the 55?
Prices?  Thank you for any help you can give!

Welcome.  It's easier to find the rack for a 55 than the 85, but yeah Slider-Bob  may have the racks, and a copy of the keys. I'd look for a repop key before drilling.

The coin mechs are interchangeable, so they will all work on the other machines. They all just turn the square rod that turns the flapper. If Bob does not have any, I think Slapshot just posted one for sale. Check the check the swap meet area, shipping is brutal, so location may dictate the end price, but I think it is about $225-250 plus $40is shipping.

any I'm way to impatient to try to find a key!! I just drill!!

Slider...Welcome to the forum!

Tim (MaineT) is spot on.

I'm out of 55 racks (however, I do have an 85 rack for sale), and I know Jared (Slapshot42) has a real clean 55 rack for sale.  Send him a PM for pics. Often, you get the slider/cooler cheap, and then spend much more on the parts to make it complete. Worth it though!

As far as the lock goes, drill it out and buy a new lock. Better use of your time to keep working on it, then waiting to find the correct key which can be time consuming.
