Title: Nesbitt's ideal 55b Post by: johnieG on January 03, 2003, 09:23:50 pm I'm looking at a Nesbitt's Orange soda Ideal 55B slider, still running (and still in use as a lunch cooler too!) found it at an old service station thats now a Taxi Co. it's complete, works as I metioned above, it's a little (make that a lot) grimmy & greasy from being in the service bay area (by the exhaust end of the taxies) but it's solid,staight no rust,& the paint's more brown than orange. so the guy say's $150.00 & it's yours, should I bite?

Need you ask...? Post a photo when you get it home tomorrow! Title: Nesbitt's ideal 55b Post by: johnieG on January 09, 2003, 04:09:23 pm OK Jim here's the picture of this poor little Ideal A55 Nesbitts slider that folowed me home for a taxi Co.s garage, I rubbed of some of the Grime (uggh!) to show you there was still some Orange hiding under the crud! , it runs, and even came with an old lunch bag frozen to the bottom of the pre-cool area (ewww ) I wasn't brave enough to look in side though! it's set for a dime only & I even found $1.80 in the coinbox after I drilled the lock. so what do you think? a keeper?
