The coinbox has a regular circle key.

Is there an alphanumeric code on it?

The coinbox lock has "ACE" on it.

That is the type lock it is.
Usually the locks had an alphanumeric code stamped into the face of the lock (ie. KT711 or XX3937).
Keys had a matching code.
Some experienced locksmiths can make a key from the lock, but they need to have depth guages so they can measure the keyhole.

That is all the writing. Do I need to drill?

Yes, drill the lock in 8 places around the center.

       The side door uses a 3/8" allen wrench as a key.

This is the 4th ideal 70 that I've seen pop up within the last year.

Ideal had a 35, 55, 70 and a 85. It is personal preference but I like the sliders.  If it is complete and cools I think you made a good deal.  I can not tell from the picture does it have any embossing on the front.

No embossing. i ended up paying $150. The cord has been cut. I will put on a new one this weekend and see if it cools  '<img'>

150 is a good deal.  A lot of the guys up here prefer the round tops but I personally like the sliders.  I have a 55 and an 85. One good thing about the 70 and 85 they have slide out compressors that are easy to work on.  Be sure and look the wiring over before you put the new cord on, make sure there are no bad spots that will short out.  With no embossing and the orange color you can come up with a crush or nesbitt decal and have a neat looking machine.
