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?

[90grad]

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!

Bryan,

Walters says:

Average: $750
Restored: $2450

It's a Coca-Cola tractor! '>

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.

Yep, I see that a lot.

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.
