Ideal 55B Royal Crown Slider Cooler

The Ideal 55B Royal Crown soda machine is the most common of all Ideal’s soda vendors. The Ideal 55B is a “slider”, which is a machine where, after you deposit your coin, you slide the bottle through a rack to the opening to get the bottle out. The Ideal 55B vends 50 bottles and pre-cools 80. The Royal Crown embossed sliders are the most common among the 55Bs. This Ideal slider is one that we restored.
