I bought Lincoln SA200. Runs well, new water pump, new cables with remote control. Mounted on a trailer with new tires. Magneto may be a bit temperamental, we'll see.I paid $500. How did I do?I'm pretty excited about it.Paul
Reply:Here's a bad pic.Will post better one later. I s/w Lincoln today and they said this machine was manufactured in 1967 with 100% copper windings. We we able to lay down a few nice beads. I don't have any real stick experience but I think I understand what others have said about a very soft arc. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this machine.Paul Attached Images
Reply:A machine in that condition brings $1200-1800+ around here regulary. Restored/painted brings $3000+MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
Reply:I've been looking at some of the SA200's trying to find one worth buying and I have found many that look worse than yours for anywhere between $2000-$2600.

Reply:Nice find all right. It's tidier than my SAM 400 220 for the same number of slightly smaller dollars! About 367 of your dollars, it is a runner ( but not yet a welder!)The latest in a long line of projects."One of the things we have to be thankful for is that we don't get as much government as we pay for."

LOLI have bought 8 SA-200s (1970 and older) in the last 2 months, and I havent paid more than $600 for any of them.... they are all in fair/nice condition, 100% complete and all run except one (one has a seized engine, but im pretty sure i can loosen it up no problem.Just got to know where to look and know how to "wheel and deal"... i have a way of talking people down in price .Nice find, enjoy your machineSteve1946 Shorthood - 1958 Blackface - 1962 Redface - 1967 Redface - 1968 Redface - 1970 Blackface - 2005 300D - 2008 Vantage 300 -and a ton of other welding stuff

Reply:Paul ya' know ya' got a great deal and all that kicking of sand with the boot and going "aw shucks" ain't gonna' make anyone feel any better about it Green envy is a mean li'l beastieRight after I found those two I bought early this summer, neither of which run at the moment, and cost me $400 each... right after that, I have seen on Cl etc. about 1/2 dozen good deals. Had no more need and no more $ so it was a moot point.There is a requirement on the site? I think, for you to now make some very kool project with said SA200 to redeem yourself. enjoyLincoln Power MIG 215Lincoln WeldPak 3200HDLincon ProCut 25Lincoln WeldanPower 225 AC/DCIf all else fails... buy more tools
