Any restoration folks in Missouri? There was a post earlier about pulling a liner out of an Ideal 55. I did that 4 years ago and spent weeks on the shell with the bodywork. It's gnat's ass as a buddy put it. I wanted to replace the cooling with a new deck but cant seem to get the time to put it all together with any local cooling folks. I wrote some of the parts suppliers for a reference as to who might be into finishing the restoration here in the St. Louis or Missouri area. Basicaly all I want them to do is install the cooling and put the liner back in? Anyone have any ideals? I've managed three other machines but just don't have the time to tackle this one! ':angry:'

Check St. Louis Slot Machines in St. Louis (of course)
Then in Ozark Missouri on Hwy 65 Near Springfield MO
there's Nostalgic Restorations Call inforrmation for his number... I don't have it off hand but he restores machines and is very knowledgable about the cooling units. Does tons of
restoration on vintage soda machines!

Good Luck! '<img'>

Sorry... I don't have the knowledge of restoring these things...
(as seen in my collection) they're all standing patiently in a row waiting for their time to shine again.
Nostalgic Restoration has the ability to help you out and should check his store out.... He has some awesome machines
and gas pumps.

Good Luck '<img'>
