notinfringed Posted September 24, 2016 Share #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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfixer Posted September 26, 2016 Share #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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notinfringed Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share #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 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
