Looks like it is missing the rack and the coin mech for starters.  That's $500+ in parts if you are wanting to restore it to original operating condition. 

The water fountain is not an added bonus, more of a detractor - it is mounted where the coin mech should go. 

Personally I would pass for that price and condition.

Thanks I am too far away from this guy but I never seen a water fountain on an Ideal slider so I decided to post it and get some information from the guys in here

Some shop owners would have these installed as a way to offer free cold water to their customers.  I think they were strictly after-market.

They could use the refrigeration system already in the machine to cool a coil of copper tubing flowing through the cabinet.  I have a VMC33 with the same water fountain setup.

If that was one of the other sliders and not pepsi, it might be a good find. Since its pepsi, its pretty common and get parted out a lot. I have a complete one that is sadly worth more in parts then as a machine. Its going in for the old chop,chop pretty soon.

When I have the cash for a working   Pepsi 55, I can never find one.
