Reply:And I thought I had an old clunker of a stick machine. AC only or is it dc also? I wish mine looked like that. At least it would look interesting in the shop gathering dust now that I have a newer one.
Reply:This is a fantastic looking old arc welder, I'd love to see it cleaned up a little.
Reply:Mark123 since you posted that great old welder, I'll post my clunker for you.It's for sale if anyone wants it.
Reply:Guys, that is not a stick welder,   It is a shop vac with a really small hose.

Reply:Wow !!! No wonder you guys are so good. Ya'll must have been welding for at least a hundred years.
Reply:That is a very interesting old arc welder there Mark!Is that a Snap-On MIG?One of mine is on the back of the truck too.. (Bobcat 250NT).The TIGs (Dialarc HF & Thermal Arc 185).  The other blue box is an XR feeder (the torch for it is on the 350P now).Millermatic 350P.HTP MIG & Hypertherm 380 plasma, under the blue cover, wearing its' new leather torch sleeve .PowCon300SM (lower left corner, red machine on the bottom shelf next to the chop saw).  The PowCon was a great pulse-mig power source for aluminum with the Cobramatic and later the XR, now only used for stick welding due to a problem with the contactor.  350P gets the pulse duties now days .Last edited by DesertRider33; 04-15-2008 at 07:41 AM.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
