Grummy, what kind of welder do you have?

I have an old lincoln... In that my Dad bought it used from where he
worked when they were buying new rigs, and it was probably 20 years
old when they got rid of them, and lets see, he probably bought it
back in 1963 or 1964, that would make it a good 50 to 60 years old for
sure. I forget what its max setting is.... I would have to take a
little steel wool and rub it on the scale in order to tell! I just
know about where to crank it to when I use it.

No fans, no noise (ok, there is a slight hum)... just such a 200+ lbs
of copper inside.

I was at a volunteer site once where they burned up 2 modern arc
welders the same day. I offered mine and they were afraid they would
burn up 3 peoples machines that same day...... I told them if they
could burn this one out, I would buy them a beer ! Needless to say,
they didn't burn it out.

Pop never had a gas torch. Come to think of it, not much of a grinder
either. He always used that welder to fashion everything from cutting
to welding, and he had a way with that thing. I am pretty sure it runs
up around that 225 amp level. I know I will not let go of it anytime
soon. Excellent old machine.

Grummy
