I concur with MoonDawg.There should be a medal tag on one end of the machine with 70 stamped on it.It shares the same cooling unit as the 85 and the bumped out cover was their solution to conceal it. Model 70's could be ordered to vend milk or soda.

Ok,Thanks for the info. It is for sale locally for $ 200 and I was gonna buy it if it had been a 55.

I would like to acquire a couple of good photos of the Ideal 70 for the Soda Machines Listings...
Anyone know of someone with a good candidate that can be used on SMC...?
