From another Forum I frequent:So in our travels we hit the scrapyard. I took him to the spot I found the motor and about 20' from that spot was a big-*** Hobart Cyber-Wave 300 S (300 amp/ 3 phase) TIG welder laying on it's side!!!! I damn near **** myself!!! Needless to say I had Dave guard the find and jumped in the truck got on the scales and whipped in and got the yard help to put her on. The big I-beam skids brought the total weight to 890 lbs at 22 cents per pound. So for just under $200 I snagged that *******!!! I don't know if it works yet but it did not look to have any damage. Sure that don't mean it works but at least there are no obvious signs it doesn't So feast your eyes on my find! Banzai will be damn proud and envious I am sure We kind of trade off doing that to each other

Reply:It'll be great but unlikely that it works right off the bat. But even if it requires a couple/few hundred in repairs, it's still a great find!axehind
