2 machines on a local buy and sell. Emailed the guy a couple times, i'm thinking about buying one or both of these.The first;250 Amp L-Tec mig with boom for wirefeedNice condition230 or 575 volt 3 phase inputAsking $500 OBOL-Tec B88K-80485This was originally posted at $750 on may 1st, so i'm thinking there might be more room for bargaining.The Second;450 Amp Airco Mig welder with boom for wirefeedGood older heavy duty machine.$750 OBOAirco RG909001This was originally posted at $1400 on may 1st. I think there still might be room for bargaining. Also, I might try to pick this one up for cheap, or get him to throw it in if I buy both of the others;Hobart Motor Generator DC Welder250 Amp220/440 Volt 3 PhaseNo Cables Included$125 oboThese machines are about an hours drive from the city. I'm just trying to get as much info as I can before taking the drive.I also posted on the miller board for some info on the Airco.I emailed ESAB Tech support for info on the L-tec.Thanks guys.Last edited by Eric N; 06-24-2010 at 11:48 PM.
Reply:The 1st issue I see with these are that they are 3 phase. If you have that already, it's not an issue, but for many that kind of kills the deal..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
