Title: whada think of this? Post by: rugrunner on September 09, 2009, 09:27:40 pm Didn't sell at the garage sale so now they have offered it to me for $300.
Don't know yet if the racks are inside or what the inside looks like but they say it runs good, cools good, and they have the key. As always any in put is very welcome!

Hope it is and you can get it! Title: Re: whada think of this? Post by: Pat Pixley on September 09, 2009, 09:46:59 pm Its worth it any way you look at it (Parts Machine or to use every day) the coin mech is there and if it's not working right you can have collecture (Tom) work on it for you .
Pat Title: Re: whada think of this? Post by: halehouse on September 09, 2009, 10:29:12 pm That seems like a pretty fair price. This one keeps getting listed for $200 with no takers and it doesn't work.

Title: Re: whada think of this? Post by: loman4ec on September 10, 2009, 01:25:17 am I would jump on that right away! I think the 7up Ideal 55 is the best looking of the ideal line. It looks like the paint is nice. If the paint is as nice as the pic looks you may be able to just do the embossing and have a nice machine. If it were me buying I wouldn't care if it had the rack. Their usability is what makes these machines so nice. You can use it as another refrigerator. Just open the lid and reach in. It can put anything you want in it.
Title: Re: whada think of this? Post by: rugrunner on September 10, 2009, 01:35:26 am Thanks for the input guys, it seemed like a deal to me. I think I saw the decal for the embossing at
funtronics maybe. The big thing is that if the seller is being honest it cools and seems to be in really good shape. I asked if the rack is there and what shape it's in on the inside... even the stainless front edge looks perfect in the picture. The seller says they have had the machine for over 15 years but have no space in there current house. Thanks again for sharing your expertise. Title: Re: whada think of this?

Kidding. Title: Re: whada think of this? Post by: SIGNGUY on September 10, 2009, 08:32:28 am I'd go for it, if th paint is as nice as it looks, all you have to do yet is the logo and it's done... racks I don't think are neccessary like another member said.. they are great to use as as reach in cooler for cans, bottles, juicboxes.. you name it..
Title: Re: whada think of this? Post by: rugrunner on September 10, 2009, 07:43:50 pm i agree but the racks add value and historical correctness.
If I were to use the machine I'd take the racks out. My mother in law remembers when these machines were very common and told me you were as like as not to get nothing for your money... Thanks for the in put! Bill |
