Title: pepsi slider
Post by: lucky104 on October 17, 2012, 08:03:45 pm
I have a Pepsi slider that I am not sure what model it is . It looks like a ideal 55 but the coin mechanism is on the inside under the lid . I can't find a picture of a Pepsi machine like this one anywhere . It looks a whole lot like the Tyler Champion 110 a 7 up machine on this website and there is a tag on side that says champion but I thought it was the compressor. Did they make machines for Pepsi ? Does anyone know what I may have ? Thank you

Could be a Cornelius slider done up in Pepsi.   Got any pics?

Ideal also made a 150 and a 50 slider (both square tops from the 60's).  Maybe's it's one of these?

I believe the 150 was made in Canada and had an external coin box, but the 50 had an internal coin box.  Couldn't find a pic of the 50 though on the net to verify.

Atlas had a slider that resembled the Ideal-55, it had an internal coinmech on late models & an external coinmech/box on earlier models ( on the front of the machine) or it could be a Tyler...here's a Pic' of a "Coke" Themed Tyler model 110

So I am going to assume it is an ideal 50 . If so will parts from 55 fit

It is a Champion BT-110!
It is uncommon & rare, but not necessarily valuable. Just because there is no documentation on it doesn't mean it is something else.
Other slider parts may fit, but it would be trial and error.

How did you find it and thank you . So restoring it will be hard I suppose.

Your ID tag!

Not necessarily! You can still restore it as a reach-in cooler and wait and see if a rack shows up somewhere; however, finding the correct rack/mech will be near impossible IMO, so a full restoration may never happen. It can still be a usable decorative dry cooled cooler though!

I thought that tag was for compressor  :down: . I could not find anything on champion except the machine on here .
