Lincoln 250 ac/dc welder score

I once saw a comment that used Lincoln "tombstones" were dirt cheap so I kept an eye on their prices. That dirt must be Manhattan real estate, locally the AC/DC ones run around $200 and up.

You should be able to find a copy of the manual here somewhere:

Then look for copyright years amongst the pages...

If you don't have any luck, post the model and serial number that's on it and I'll see what I can find :)

Oh and very nice buy!

That's kinda what I thout -$200 US is like about $275 Canadian - - -

Didn't find a serial number yet but spec number is W352-3E9

I couldn't find anything with that number...

From your description it sounds similar to the old "Idealarc" machines.

Try posting a picture of the front if you can't find any model and/or code numbers. Their website isn't very user friendly without a valid name or code number to go by...

I came across this old discussion too, you may find it of interest:

I've emailed Lincoln directly to see what they have to say.

The case looks like the one on:

but with a different faceplate and a lot less cutout at the back.- also, it has the ac/ds switch top left.
