Lincoln doesn't seem to currently sell a Power MIG 200, but they do sell a 210.
Is this what you're looking at?

MSRP looks to be $1,200. If you can get the whole package for less, I don't see it being a bad deal for a new welder. If it's used, but comes with everything you need, price is a bit more subjective due to the extra goodies.

No the Power Mig 200 is an older welder about 10 years old. Also wondering what the down falls of a welder of that age is as well.

The 200 is an old machine I believe. I am not familiar with all the Linc feeder models though.

Pulled the manual, circuit is really simple, though I could not find a parts list readily, most I got was the manual. Searched for a Lincoln power mig 200 or parts on Ebay nothing. Personally I would have to get it real cheap to take it. It might become a throw away if you need a part. Likely a good machine which will last but it is old. If it comes with a large tank/regulator/flow meter, tank is worth more then the welder, at least to me. Manual dated 2002

Its worth every penny of 500 or so. T think its a pretty good machine, I have a 266 wirematic which wasn't one of their shining models and its 25 and still works, never a thing went wrong with it. The 200PM was comparable to the Miller 210 of old which was really good, I think its got a lot more poop than the 200 rating. Its not the same as a new 200 compact, about 2x the machine.

I would have no issue getting that machine, I have a Idealarc Sp250 I bought in 1990 that works like new.
I have a video coming out on 2/11 Sat that shows the guts of it. You can get most of the parts for it if needed from Lincoln.

A new machine that good is probably near 2 grand. That is without a bottle.

I have never cleaned my 250.
