Thank you for the information. This thing is probably at least 40 years old too! Well, it doesn't sound like it will replace my 302 Trailblazer, so I guess I'll start me an antique welders shelf.
Thanks again!

I was given one some 40+ yrs. ago, seems like it is a 180 amp AC cracker box(buzz box in some circles). This one has three amp settings on the lift/lower handle, 1/16",3/32,1/8". I asked an older fellow fabricators after I aquired it if he had ever heard of such a unit, Sam's response was it was probably a unit that was badged for Birdsell by some unknown mfg. Still have that ole thing stored under the work bench. Burned many a 3/32 and 1/8 w/this old unit.
Good luck

Has anyone ever heard of this?
Was cleaning out my dad's garage and found this welder.
It's made by Birdsell Products and it's a model # 170 stick welder. I can't find anything on Google, so I thought I'd tap the wealth of knowledge here.
If anyone can tell me anything about this welder I'd sure appreciate it!
Thanks in advance,
Brokenspur
