I found this Pepsi slider on Ebay and the seller was an hour away. I paid $595.00 and it is complete except for the lid handle and side door lock. I brought it home and plugged it in and it cools nicely  so I loaded it with Coke and rootbeer and put a dime in it and it vends well also. One of the best parts to me is it's embossed. Thanks to Slider Bob for advice on choosing a slider.

Also missing the lid stops, but all are easily found
But I wouldn't have passed it up either. Congrats!

Congrats on your purchase. Getting hard to find embossed, complete machines that are plug and play at a decent price!

You can get the few minor parts you need from SJW or funtronics.

Enjoy!

Clean it up a bit, get someone to touch up the red script and it'll look awesome!
Congrats!
