I think I got a pretty good deal on this machine, picked up a ideal 35 for $20 bucks today. The machine looks much rougher than it really is, body is good lots of paint scrapes, looks like it was originally a Squirt machine then someone painted it as Pepsi. Seller had it listed on ebay under an odd title, I really didn't need another machine but couldn't pass this up. Someone had cut the cord on the machine but I tested the compressor by plugging it up directly and sure enough it cooled down and started frosting on the inside. Any idea what these are worth?
Thanks-David

Jim, Unfortunately it doesn't have the rack, but overall I think it was a good deal.

I think it was a great deal! I like the ideal sliders a lot and I personally like them best without the rack. You can use them for anything and they are small in size especially the 35. My opinion would be to buy a gutted coin mech housing and strip and repaint the machine and you will have a nice functional machine.

Here is a update on this ideal 35 I purchased last year for $20. It turned out pretty good, not perfect but nice compared to the original condition. This one took a long time, in the past I finish machines in 2-3 months, this one took over a year since I couldn't fine time to work on it.
I have a 85 rack I was thinking about cutting down, But I think I might get more use out of this without a rack.
Thanks-David

Looks great David,
I like the ideal coolers 35 or 55's , and like Josh said ,without the rack they are great multiuse machine for everyday use... I have one running on the back porch right now, keeps all the beer and pop cold and everyone enjoys using it , plusit just looks great!
