Read the schematics, you might be able to make a simple rewire to
get 220V out of it if needed. They do make split-service straight
blade duplex receptacles with the top half NEMA 5-20R 20A 120V and the
bottom half NEMA 6-20R 20A 240V.


Receptacles are two 115v.


Did you get the "Code Number" (production variation) for the unit?
I don't want to start slogging through all of the schematics they show
on the Lincoln site to look at the AC windings...

The one parts list I did pull up shows separate armatures for "115V
Only" and "230V Only" units, no mention of a 115V/230V center-tapped.

When anyone tries to throw me a curve with a
higher price, I just say, "If you can get that for the widget, then you'd be
a fool to sell it to me for less." Sometimes they take the offer, and
sometimes they don't. This guy won't get a grand for this machine unless he
finds a totally clueless individual, which has been known to happen.


I find people trying to sell me something off-the-cuff will just say
"Make me an offer" - and I refuse to just throw out a number blind, or
accept one they offer without a bit of research. They are insulted if
I toss out a total low-ball, and I can get screwed too easy if I
overbid and they hold to the offer, even after I research it.
