What kind of slider?

Any of the others would be good practice, but not worth whatever you put into them, if you are looking at an end value.
If you like the machine and just want to have it in your house to enjoy, do the one that you like the best first.

Ok.

This is a very loaded question.  It really depends on your budget, so factor that first!!.  

For machines that you have mentioned above they aren't too desirable unless you can get one of the top 5 Ideal Sliders.

Dads
Tru Ade ( Nobody really has heard of it or drinks it)
Coke
Orange Crush
Barqs
Squirt
Mission
Double Cola

*This order may not be correct to some ...

Other good quality machines to restore are the following;

Vendo 81's
Vendo 56
Vendo 44
VMC 81
VMC Pepsi 81


As you get more aquainted with the hobby you will learn!

It depends what you want to do once they are restored. If its to keep then crack on. If its to sell on then be weary.

Just worth buying and flipping laugh

Besides, ask anyone who ever restored a slider if they want to restore another one? Not likely!

If they aren't embossed, they aren't with the cost.

Is the coke an embossed 55, or a fishtail generic non-embossed glasco gbv-50?
