Title: My first Ideal 55 Post by: kbareit on September 01, 2012, 02:14:10 pm I found this Pepsi slider on Ebay and the seller was an hour away. I paid $595.00 and it is complete except for the lid handle and side door lock. I brought it home and plugged it in and it cools nicely so I loaded it with Coke and rootbeer and put a dime in it and it vends well also. One of the best parts to me is it's embossed. Thanks to Slider Bob for advice on choosing a slider.

But I wouldn't have passed it up either. Congrats! Title: Re: My first Ideal 55 Post by: Slider-Bob on September 01, 2012, 03:50:18 pm Congrats on your purchase. Getting hard to find embossed, complete machines that are plug and play at a decent price!
You can get the few minor parts you need from SJW or funtronics. Enjoy! Title: Re: My first Ideal 55 Post by: Kilroy on September 01, 2012, 06:05:58 pm Luckily I have Slider-Bob nearby to find me one when the time comes 8)

Title: Re: My first Ideal 55 Post by: johnieG on September 03, 2012, 02:31:29 pm Yeah, I just stopped by & helped Pat out on wiring/lighting issue on the Jacobs Pepsi-56, we got that sorted out & I picked up the compressor deck show above for a complete refurb' quite the mess but I'll have it right in short order. :blush:

I will clean it up and touch the paint up for now. I have three other machines to do before I'll think about doing this one. Ken |
