I found one and it runs from what I been told.When I go to look at machine is there anything to be beware of,look for. I am a pretty good shade tree mechanic but I now when to ask. Also what is it worth in running and welding shape? Thanks Joe
Reply:Give us the code # and the serial # and we can tell you the year manufactured. Buying a used welder is a lot like buying a used car...depends on what it looks like, how it runs, does it weld...Photos help too, we like pics!Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.                                         -Cree Indian ProverbSA 200 LincolnVictor Torches

Reply:Those numbers make it a 1969 according to my info. Now we need the photos!!

Reply:Was working on that but he just left for out of town. From what I know it has no doors,have to jump start gen. not working. welds great. Has not seen daily use in 15 years he is guessing. He bought it from a fella who used it on the farm. He says he has had it for 6 years. And wont's 3000.00 for it.
Reply:Agreed gg.  Mid-'69 (April/May) based on the 615400 to 642351 SN list for 1969.JL, completely working units routinely go in the range of $1,500-$2,500 so one that requires just the repairs that the owner has made you aware of would be worth less than that in my opinion.  With leads can add value depending on how good/long they are.  It's going ot boil down to how much you want it and how bad he wants to sell it.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:It's worth $3k, if it's 1) had a recent rebuild  2) needs no paint 3) has seviceable leads in the appropriate lengths 4) looks and welds like brand new. If it's broke and needs work, he's pissin' up a rope!
