It could be embossed under that pepsi sign. Would br crazy if orange crush was under there!

I think Pepsi used that sign a lot when they were stealing converting other companies machines. I had that sign on my Coke V83 way back.

I think that an embossed pepsi 55 would be sweeter.  150 is a fair price , just depends on personal preference.

I would buy it for 130, even though it doesn't have the rack or coin mech you can usually stumble on one on ebay.

Well With out that stuff I would not give $130  I bought a 7Up slider  missing the rack and coin mech  and it does work I paid
$60.00 for it  so if your looking for a slider  drop me a line I also have a Coca Cola Glasco .

That Pepsi sign should easily fetch at least $50 if you remove it and sell it on eBay. So, that'll bring the cost of the slider down a bit.

I got the guy down to $75 without the pepsi sign on the front, but I don't know if it cools and that can get expensive. Not really into the sliders, but $75 is temping.
