Reply:Looks to be in good shape. Yes, it's worth that much. Try to get it for closer to $200 if possible. Those are great machines. I restored one earlier this year.

Reply:Thats interesting because when I picked up my Idealarc, the lift eye had been cut off as well and welded back on. As mine was, it had to be cut off again to remove the cover again. The new piece was lap welded instead of butt welded back on Last edited by snoeproe; 08-27-2011 at 07:54 AM.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720
Reply:Snoeproe, seems to me it would be easier to widen the slot in the cover a bit to clear the lap weld.Lincoln Idealarc 250 (circa 1962)Lincoln Weldpak 155 w/Mig KitLincoln Squarewave TIG 175
