notinfringed Posted September 24, 2016 #1 Posted September 24, 2016 I picked this up a few years ago. I would like to restore it eventually. I know the half rim lead hangers are not original, but does anyone have any pictures of one on a flight line?
notinfringed Posted September 24, 2016 Author #2 Posted September 24, 2016 Please forgive the lousy phone pictures.
phantomfixer Posted September 26, 2016 #3 Posted September 26, 2016 I doubt you will find pictures of it on the flightline...It is a 220 VAC welder...so they would need a portable generator capable of supplying 220 VAC, and the USAAF might have had them but...most likely an in shop machine....used in the fabrication hanger/shop or repair hangers where 220 was more likely to be found.... Are you going to restore to operational use?..would be a great project...
notinfringed Posted October 15, 2016 Author #4 Posted October 15, 2016 I would love to restore it to operational use. I have lots of leads kicking around, and I have access to some newer parts welders as well. Does anyone have any pictures of this particular welder? Possibly in a field manual or supply catalog?
phantomfixer Posted October 15, 2016 #5 Posted October 15, 2016 there are several pics on the net...and you can contact Lincoln.. I talked with a bud who has a bud who has a cousin that works for Lincoln, as an engineer....they went ape over your welder...so it can be brought back to life...the internals if still present can be freshened up
