Well,
I found this locally. It looks pretty good, but needs a clean and shine. It didn't come with keys, so how do I get in? Do I start drilling? What do you think of this machine?

Pictures may be decieving but it looks shorter than a regular ideal 55? is it a 35? or is the picture distorted. give us the length? if it is a 35, complete with rack and coin Mech... Oh Boy!! nice score.
As far as getting in. the side loading door will have a lock cam in it, and if no key will need to be drilled out, but be carefull not to go too far or be too agressive with it, as behind the lock cam is a hex head made for a 1/4" allen wrench that actually opens the door. As far as the coin box, drill it out.
Hope this helps.

I posted about this back on 1/23. It was a slider that was on Craigslist for $225. Here is the original link. LINK

I certainly wouldn't say that and it looks to be in real good dhape. Do you know if it cools? I'll defer to other members who know more about whether this is an Ideal 85 or some other model. The fact that it says A-70 is interesting because I believe the Ideal 55s are A-55. The A55 vends 55 bottles, the A85 vends 85, so could this vend 70 bottles?

Yeah after looking at the hinges on the top door, looks more like an ideal 85, hence the odd shape? Being it has the rack and coin mech. still worth more than without...

Hello
Does the side lock have any numbers?
My Ideal 55 came complete with locks, keys & crank arm. I may be able to get a key made. I can post a few pictures of all the keys & locks

The side lock might be missing. When I look in the hole I see a allen nut. I was able to open it. The coinbox has a regular circle key.
