Did I steal it?
Found this Lincoln Idealarc 300/300 at an equipment auction. I've welded with lots of these in Factories and shops but this was the first single phase I ever saw. Since it was on a back row with no way to plug it in and was listed as where is as is I assumed it was dead but I tried $150.00 since it didn't smell like burnt wiring. Figured that there was enough copper to break even if it wasn't worth fixing. Well I got it home and it had the wrong plug so I pulled the plug apart and found a wire green corroded in two! Had to cut almost 8" of wire it get out of the corrosion. So an $11.00 plug and it welds like a champ!

But at least I'm enjoying the ride, at least I'll enjoy the ride.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.
