The transformer is on the side of the building. We are members of a very small electric co-op.We didn't get electricity until 1960, and phone service until 1965. Up until about 15 years ago all of our electricity was generated by diesel generators. The first two were surplus from some kind of navy ship. Power used to go off at 11 pm and come back on at 5 am for the first few years. In 1990 they finally laid a cable to the island and hooked the co-op up to the power grid when they built a bridge. Before that everything came by boat. And then we had to threatened them with lawsuits, as they said the co-op wasn't big enough and we would have to sign up a individual customers and they wanted a young fortune, saying that everything had to be re-done to their specs. Heck we just got cable TV (after the first week there is nothing on worth watching) and our first cell phone tower.

If it's an SP125 plus in good shape, it's a little high but it could take awhile to find one for less. They did cost about $650 US new. New SP135's are going for about $550 US now.

If it's one of the "consumer" Lincolns, it's overpriced.

The little 110-volt Lincolns are great for sheetmetal as in autobody. If you're after a more general purpose welder, I'd recommending going with a 220V machine like the Hobart Handler for only a little more.
