Title: Ideal 55, and Ideal 85 slider questions? Post by: SLIDER on July 27, 2012, 06:08:12 pm 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! Title: Re: Ideal 55, and Ideal 85 slider questions? Post by: Ltransam on July 27, 2012, 06:51:03 pm Hello, Slider And Welcome To the Site .

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.

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!! Title: Re: Ideal 55, and Ideal 85 slider questions? Post by: Slider-Bob on July 27, 2012, 09:46:51 pm 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. Title: Re: Ideal 55, and Ideal 85 slider questions?
