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.

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.

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. 
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.
