Linde VI-200 parts buying/selling

admin

Hi to all,I have this old Linde / Union Carbide VI-200 power supply. Specs are220V  single phase input200A output, 100% duty cycle (hang on, there's a catch...)Rectified DC out, both polarities possible.The catch: it's missing the main (adjustable) transformer. So thisthing will not weld as-is.When I bought it, I missed an important detail on the pictures I saw,and the seller wasn't totally honest with me, so after a long driveto get it, I bought it anyway - for a low price thankfully.I'm either offering to sell this unit, or buy a replacement maintransformer (now unavailable from ESAB and all of the repaircenters I've called). I'm in Quebec, Canada and I can drive to pick up atransformer, but I can't deliver the welder (imagine a 24" x 24" x 30" ,300lbs monster in a tiny Mazda Protege. I did it once, probablynever again ! Hint : it won't go in the trunk.)I would also consider an offer for an equivalently-spec'ed variabletransformer that I can hack into this frame.Asking ~ 50$ for it.Thanks for your interest !
