Vintage Ideal 55 Pepsi Cola Bottle Vending Machine

Description

Vintage Ideal Pepsi Cola Bottle Vending Machine. Condition is used. Local pick up only!
I purchased this vending machine two years ago with the intention of restoring, but too many projects have piled up so it’s time to make some room.
So far, I have just rewired the compressor, which does work just fine, though I haven’t tested how cold it gets after letting it run for a while. I would assume it needs to be recharged with Freon.
As it sits now, it looks just fine if your going for the shabby chic look, but could use a fresh coat of paint some body work to make it look great.
There are parts missing, specifically the coin op and the slide tray, and could use a new clock on the side panel (the one in currently was drilled out at some point).
This model is the “double dot” version, so it is the earlier of the two types. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask.
