Title: Ideal 35
Post by: Flightfanatic on June 26, 2010, 11:52:08 am
Hello, I just bought an Ideal 35. I wasent able to find much about them from google. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about these.. Is there anywhere I can buy new decals for it? Preferably the same size, I think the big decal is 1 ft x 1 ft. on the front..

Here are some pics  :laugh:

Nice machine!  The 35s are some of my favorite coolers.  That is a generic cooler (not embossed), so it could originally have been anything.  If you want to keep it Pepsi, that's simple.

You can get decals from our sponsors.  Soda Jerk Works has the large branded decals for other than Coke, and Funtronics has any Coke decal you could need.

Congrats on a nice find!

Nice cooler, this one was out in the East Coast right? I think I saw it on Craigslist a week or so ago?
nice complete, probably worth 350 or so..maybe more to the right person.

East Coast??? I missed that one, I'd love to pick up either a 55 or a 35, especially just like the one you got.  Nice deal all around...and if you're looking to sell, let me know!

Oh ok, yea i'll keep you in mind if I would ever want to sell it! I read that the 35's were also used as milk vendors.. Is this true? I haven't been able to find any pictures of ones like those.

Thanks,

Not sure how the milk vendor 35 would work...milk would have been been in small cartons.

Looks like they were used to vend milk at some point, I'll have to see if I can find a photo of it.
