Hard to beat those old machines.

I used to ride to High school with a friend in a 46 Plymouth coupe

You can rant all you want.
This is an ancient thread someone dug up

What part of the country were you in?...

[FusionKing]

I think we need another category.
One for welding machine discussions and how to get them going etc.
It's like we are turning into SFT with only 3 forums...........

I used to have THAT machine and he isn't going to run it of off a 50 amp generator any better than his machine already runs....if at all.
The fan alone on that machine is a beast.
I'm not sure what they have for electric service in Haiti.
It would be a good machine to score for sure....

Yes get the tig set-up and work from there.
Or you could get a 200 AC/DC tig like a Dynasty or Chinese kind

I thought that was a "Stress Analyses Engineer" with Boeing.

You know you're a welder if.....you've electrocuted co-workers and LAUGHED !!!

Sorry Noel, I stole it

Well if it had 1000hrs of actual arc time you would know they had seriously used it. I would shy away if it had say 10.000 unless it was dirt cheap.
I'm betting if the right components failed and were replaced it would start counting hours over again. Not sure on that. Some things are better used...

Great explanation.
I would say AC stick sucks to do, and leave it at that.
DC stick is actually a pleasure IMO....

[FusionKing]

HAHA.........Oh, you're serious.
No, that machine will NOT run off of a generator like that.
If you wanna run single pass on 1/2 inch with stick then you will need at least 100 amps or so from a power source.
Until you get decent electric you are pretty much maxed out where you are....
