Lincoln AC 225-S reconditioned

admin

I recently picked up a Lincoln AC 225-S that has been sitting in a barn for over 30 years. It worked, but it had seen better days. I took it apart, cleaned it up, and repainted it. I still have to get a new power cable for it and then put the back panels on, but here it is so far: Attached ImagesLast edited by Mantis; 02-19-2007 at 03:52 PM.

Reply:While you have your machine apart, you might want to add jacks for the leads. I added these to my 225 A/C D/C machine and was well worth the cost. I never thought much about running lead thru the sheet metal with no protection.Not a beginner, not a pro !
