Lincoln Electric WeldenPower 150

admin

All--I've inherited a Lincoln Electric Weldenpower 150 (with 10 hs Kohler engine) from my father.  I've had someone interested in buying it.  BUT...I do not know about how much this is worth at this point.  When I look on the web I see anything from 300$ to 800$.  The welder is in very good shape and has been indoors all the time.  It was made in 82.  Does anyone know a ballpark figure on what it would be worth?  If not, do you have a website where we could find this out?
Reply:kim902,  Welcome to the forum.The value of a machine is determined by a number of factors with the primary being the demand for a particular type/brand.Next would be its outward condition (which you've described), whether it is operational or not and then what is included with it.  The Weldanpower series - among many others - could be an AC only weld output or combination AC/DC (combination adding value), equipped with a running gear (tires and handle also adding value) or not and offered with or without welding leads (with leads adds value based on length, size and condition).  Another would be pull start or electric start with the electric start adding value.So based on all the above, the figures you've listed could be accurate depending on what ever is or is not applicable although in my opinion $800 is a bit high for a150amp unit unless it's completely decked out and in mint condition.  Can you clarify as many of the above points above and better yet post a couple photos of the unit so we could get a better idea?  Where the unit is located may help to generate additional interest as well.Last edited by duaneb55; 07-13-2009 at 01:32 PM.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:The unit is operational.  It does have cart with tires and handle.  Operation manual is on web IM287. (1982), code 9676.  It has a Kohler 10 Horse Motor.  Serial of welder is A-991105 if that helps.  Motor is 12081204.  I've not been able to find web info based on serials...if anyone knows of a source let me know.
Reply:Also...forgot to add.  This unit can be used as a generator as well as welder (marketed that way).
Reply:Per the Lincoln unit serial number listing http://content.lincolnelectric.com/p...of_Machine.pdf your unit was manufactured in late 1982.Photos?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'll check, it's at my sister's house so may not be possible to get photos.  Any "range of prices" possible without it?

Reply:Here's a Weldanpower 150 AC only with leads, new fuel pump, new starter, fabricated gas tank (old one probably rusted out) and homemade cart in fair condition on craigslist for $375.Start on the high end with OBO and go from there.  You can always come down if there's no interest.It would still be nice to see some photos if you can get them.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!
