I took this welder to a scrap yard. It was FUBAR due to having been
left outside for years, without a rain cap. Still made money, but
wasted time.


What was wrong with it?


Did you even try cranking it over?


It sat outside for several (many) years, with the exhaust stack
lacking a cap. It looked like it was beyond redemption, I did not feel
like bringing it home. The guys who told me this had no reason to
lie.


I tried cranking it, it would not crank.


Scrap value was $129 in cash.

Ok.


I should note that my Miller 55g had the same problem and only (1)
cylinder was stuck. *Its about half done being rebuilt and the cost so
far has been $67.95


Now try to value your time at the minimum wage per hour and come back
to us when the assembly is complete.

And those "favors" are taxable transactions, whether you like it or
not.
