i've been waiting for something like this to come up, and sure enough it did.
Panasonic gunslinger 260 welder was sent off to be scrapped at work, so i saved it for scrap price (40 bucks since scrap prices doubled and its so damn heavy). Took a pic right after testing and verifying it worked fine. haven't made room at the welding area for it yet.
apparently it was looked at by someone, don't know who, who said it was junk and needed gone. got it home and wired it for 230v, wouldn't feed or turn on contacts for welding. so did the most logical thing and checked the gun....... broken wire connection at the trigger. whoever looked at this thing either didn't give a ****, or thought they would end up buying it.
so now i have a nice wire welder that i'll keep around for a long time, this thing is almost perfect inside, not even a lot of dust accumulation from sitting in the factory.
Also previously got a lincoln powerwave 450 at scrap price i was planning on cleaning up for a heavy duty stick machine if i ever happened to get 3 phase in my garage.
