https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...4-30379cf8781fHe dropped the price recently and so I posed it.Hard to figure out what it might be worth without testing it.  Your thoughts.1940-1950 (?) Wilson Hornet
Reply:Any reason you couldn't bring a generator and test it? You aught to be able to test the wire feeder and confirm that it welds CC and CV. You don't need a big generator to test it with. A 5500W would be fine. Maybe try burning a 3/32 6010 and some 0.35 flux core.Sent from my Lincoln Buzzbox using Tapatalk

Reply:So, I will definitely run some beads with it.And, how can I use a multi-meter to help me check the voltage and other specs?Last edited by ericsarratt; 5 Days Ago at 07:10 AM.1940-1950 (?) Wilson Hornet

Reply:It’s an XMT 300, it’s likely blown up. They were prone to letting the smoke out.

Reply:It now says 125 USD. A wire feed box with external spool, all analog controls, absolutely no details beyond it needs work. One or more components most likely don't work, so running a bead with it is most likely not possible.
Reply:For $125, I recommend you go ahead and buy it. Chances are you're either going to be:A - broken welder and wire feeder (both can be sold for parts)B - broken welder OR wire feederC - working welder and wire feeder (but there's probably going to he a catch)If C, be careful. Could be stolen, haunted, 50Hz, or some other weirdness.Sent from my Lincoln Buzzbox using Tapatalk
Reply:@52 ford, I think B is possible, if not highly likely. In my area that being listed for very low price, would mean it either didn't work, or the guy didn't know enough about it to test it themselves, and possibly stolen if its in good condition.If your Ok with gambling 125 bucks, if you think fixing it or parting it out might result in a better financial outcome i'd say go for it. I don't know enough about the box itself that i'd be comfortable giving any money for it without knowing more specifics.The price range of 400-1200 bucks these days could get you a much better non-miller box new that is warrantied.
Reply:I asked the seller: Do you know what type of work this needs?  Have you tried testing this connected to a 240v generator?He replied: Yes I’ve tried testing I can get it to do anything not sure what is wrong1940-1950 (?) Wilson Hornet
