I pick it up Saturday (holiday delays).

Love that thing! I am beginning to really like the old Monkey Wards stuff wonder who made that one for them. Might be Century. Cool.

Looks like my first welder. I seem to remember you had to shut it off to change amperage. Some kind of hand brake sort of arrangement to change amperage. It was a dandy welder, but the reason I sprang for a DialArc when I could afford it.

Enjoy your welder in good health.

You don't have to shut off the power to it to change range. You just need to not be "arcing" while changing ranges. It does appear very similar to the old Century's. Pretty fool proof machines! Enjoy!

If that's got the carbon arc torch with it .... you ****.

The seller is not the original user, she said it comes with the cables "even though they are not in the picture". I am not sure if that includes carbon arc torch. Made by Century (which is why it went so cheap). DC Lincolns or Millers go for $250ish around here (SoCal). I am so looking forward to getting rid of my ac welder.

Yes, it is a deal and then some.

Nice score. Ought to do everything except build roll cages and such.

Be careful with it or it'll only last another sixty years. Hang on to your nuts when you try to pick it up.
Mans welder. NOT boy welder.

I have owned the same machine for years. It has done every thing I have needed. I can not pick it up by myself.

 

[Professur]

Did it have the carbon arc torch?

Live long and prosper

Dang, that's a steal. I thought I did good when I bought the same welder (in worse shape) off craigslist a few months ago for $150! I sold it to my BIL...

I've seen another guy locally advertising his for over $500!

That's a sweet welder, and, as allenb12 mentioned, insanely heavy for a buzzbox!

Enjoy!

You did do good at 150$ they are well worth that.
