Title: 110 in arizona

All,

Here's a 110 in Arizona.  I seem to recall there may be some folks in that neck of the woods.  So, here may be one near you guys.

110 in Arizona

Wayne - that would be me...thanks for the pointer.  was just about to pist a question on it's value and type (it was originally listed as a V81).  anyway, this v110 looks like a pretty solid machine but if there are any specific questions you should ask about a roundtop, I'll take the pointers.

What's it worth as-is and restored?

I don't have the Walters book in front of me, but I think it lists 110s in average condition for $750 and restored around $1850 or so.  Some one please correct me, and I'll check the book and repost a little later.  I do think I'm correct on the average condition price, though.

Pointer-wise, I'm sure other on here can offer much more than I.  I typically ask about the body (rust, dents, alignment, etc), if the coin mech works, and the cooling assembly.  From the description, it seems very solid.  However, sounds like they "hot-wired" the compressor to get it to run.  The ad doesn't say it cooled.  If you get this and want to restore it, Global Compressors sells a complete drop-in cooling system for the 110 for $700.  This includes everything (compressor, evaporator, wiring, etc).  All you have to do is bolt it in.

90grad, I thought you were giving us a weather report.

I was in Scottsdale in April a few years back, and it was 103 degrees.  My wife and I loved the area.  We went from there to Sedona for a few days, then up to the Canyon.  Great vacation.

Bob

Well Bryan. The big thing about the 110 is that the door hinges are screwed into wood. Rotten wood results in a saggy door.  Also bottle doors are commonly rusted at the bottom.      This compressor simply needs a new wiring harness.  Interior looks fine, but the paint job SUCKS.   Look at the close-up of the ID plate.  Takes more time to remove a bad paint job, give me an original anyday.   Lastly...............I sure like the screws through the chrome divider strip.   :glare:

        I wouldn't mind restoring that tractor though!

I guess the guy tried to make an all-red machine a two-tone?  Maybe that's why the trim covers the ID plate and is screwed on.

Thanks for the replies on price... Sounds like the hinges could be a pain - how hard is it to replace the wood strip (if it needs it)?  

Feel like I should answer a couple posts directly...

Bob - actually having a cool summer.  Only 95 today and only had a handful of 105+ days so far.

Moondawg guess this would be a less than average machine?

The price is at $107.00 right now. If in my area, I'd be on it.   The coin door, coin mech, and compressor are interchangeable with Vendo 81's so it has a $500.00 parts value already.
       I only pointed out the shabby paint so no one would mistake it for an above average machine. This one is OK.

I agree. If it were near me and were $400 or less, I'd grab it for parts for sure.
