What kind of slider is this, can you tell?  It will be at a fairly local live auction and the auctioneer says it is missing the rack, but the "change box is in there" ?

It looks like an Ideal 35

A very nice 35 I may add.  Go for it! You will seldom find a slider rack for it, but a 55 rack can be modified to fit.
       I just got outbid on an embossed RC 35 slider on ebay today, $230.00  but it looked pretty bad

This one is in the same auction. Probably not so desireable, but something to look at anyhow.

That 35 would be cool to have.... Hard to find... Yeah go for it (if the price is right) a 55 rack can be
cut down and if the coin mech and rest is there that's a deal.... the Westinghouse, if the lids are
solid, is nice too (Wow the cap catcher is still there that's about $75 bucks alone.)
That 35 would be SWEET as a Pepsi!.......
Good Luck!

Thanks. It is a July auction. Does the Westinghouse look like a Standard or Master?  I guess the slider would be considered a generic 35. What would be a "good" price on the slider?

I think it looks like a standard... with the way the picnic cooler covers the one side lid.
Can you call before hand and get a measurement and check these out for rust/parts?

It is maybe an hour away or so, so what I might do is just go for the auction and check them out.

I think you'd be safe to bid up to $400.00 on the 35

I went to the auction today with the TruAde slider and the Coca Cola chest that is pictured earlier in this thread. The Coca Cola one went for $410 (+/-). I wasn't interested in it, too big. I went to check out the slider. Very clean and solid, no rack or cap catcher. The coin box was sitting inside and was covered in surface rust. I had $375 in mind to spend and the last bid on it was $475. I think the picnic cooler went for about $150 and it was a bit rough (dented) on the outside.
