Sparky

Sparky is a 1962 Lincoln SA-200-F "Pipeliner" portable DC welder. It is powered by a Continental F-162 four-cylinder water-cooled in-line flathead gasoline engine producing around 35 horsepower. The machine puts out 200 amps of pure DC power at 60 volts or 12,000 watts of power. It also has a 110 volt DC outlet for running AC/DC "universal" power tools. Virtually the same machine has been made for almost 60 years and the older ones are considered to be the best machines ever made for welding. A new one costs $11,000!!! The machine weighs right around 1,000 pounds so I am searching for a trailer for it right now.

I bought this locally this Saturday for $550! There is $1,000 worth of copper in this machine! It starts, runs, and welds like brand new. It needs NOTHING! SWEET!

Cheers!
