My Father got a call last night from an old family friend (92yr old guy) said he's cleaning out the shed and wanted to know if my dad wanted the old coke machines back that he got from my Grandfather back in 60's. (My Grandfather owned a bottling plant here at home) He didn't know what he had but figured worth a look, and might as well bring the trailer along...
Picked up this embossed pepsi ideal slider /missing rack. and what i believe is a Mills 65? pretty sure from the pictures Jim has on the site.. Mills is missing guts and was used to put pony keg of beer in for years, and guy said it stopped cooling years ago so we'll have to check that out... and the Ideal, well for free... I'll take it!
Stuff is still out there... I scanned the pole barn pretty good before I left, didn't see much else, but figured I'd made out ok...

Hard to complain about free... and like Eric said there's family history to boot. Nice deal.
