Ideal A-55 Pepsi

[kyjeeper]

Found this at a local antique mall.  Not sure I want to jump on it ($200), don't know if it runs, but just wanted to get a little more info on it, if it's worth doing anything with, etc.

It's a pepsi machine, but when I google Ideal A-55 they all look much older than this machine.


Thanks so much!

Here's a pic of the machine as well as the tag:

Welcome to the site! I would pass on that machine.  Not very collectible and you can get the older model and more desireable Ideal 55 for the same money.  Be patient and do some more research.

Beauty is skin deep, but ugly runs clean to the bone

Haha! Thanks all!  I went back to give it another look over, it looks like someone turned it into a cooler, as it's just a bin inside, without any of the mechanism.

Agreed, it is pretty ugly, any idea when these were produced?
