SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi, Been building and riding since the 60s. My last contest build made The Horse BC last year "Home Built Indian" and had a 40 Indian in the TCU section of the Horse BC the year before. Iv'e answered to Dusty since 69 Thanks Dusty
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!
