Yes and No

As Kevn posted...an orginal will not however the reproduction racks sold by Funtronics or Sodajerkworks will vend the 20 oz bottles, the repro racks have 4 slides as opposed to 5 in the original.

Hello

The Ideal 55 is a RC Cola non-embossed. The machine is complete with orginal keys, lock, twist handle & operational coin mechanism. I installed new wiring harness & new condensor fan motor.

If you want more pictures let me know.
