Title: Best surprise all day! Post by: Norrisk66 on February 05, 2013, 07:30:35 pm So I picked up a second non-embossed Ideal 55A about a month ago for $30. It was missing everything of course, but it cooled well. I originally bought it for parts, mainly the inner tub- as the tub in my other slider is pretty rusty. The machine I bought for parts was really straight- so I got the idea to paint it red, put some Coca-Cola decals on it, and just use it as a cooler.
I took it to get sandblasted, and got a nice surprise when I picked it up. Yes- that is an embossed Pepsi emblem underneath all that bondo! At this point, I think it would not make sense to continue with my Coca-Cola idea, but from a value standpoint, wanted to get everyone else's opinion. Title: Re: Best surprise all day!

Score! Jared Title: Re: Best surprise all day! Post by: Norrisk66 on February 06, 2013, 01:26:24 pm If I do decide to sell it later on down the road-I don't want to get stuck with it.
I think a red machine would be much more desirable. Title: Re: Best surprise all day! Post by: johnieG on February 07, 2013, 12:01:31 pm Sick of Red lately, I'd Go Blue. :upside:
