There's an old but solid multitap AC welder in a garage in my neighborhood. The guy would probably take $20 for it. I'm only guessing as to the amperage but looking at it, I'm guessing it's good for 150A or maybe more (it's probably 30" tall by 15" wide by 15" deep) with no information whatever as to duty cycle. I never ever weld with AC, but I wonder if maybe there might be some other use ..ideas?GWE

Those old AC welders hold the entireUS ag infrastructure together.They work just fine for connectinggood sized chunks of steel.

use for old but functional 150A AC welder?

I've always wondered if my edm makes those, and that's part of what I throw away in my filters.

Anybody want to buy some old EDM filters? :)

Grant, How about all those young guys learning to weld at South Seattle Community College? See if they'll let you park it in the weld shop with a for sale or free sign on it.

Scientists found bucky balls in the forge stack in the 'old time' exhibit in Tuscon Az. So a hot forge pipe - found near the top - think Oil refinery cracking tower. The higher the lighter and different levels cool at different rates...

So a wood or coal fire can create Bucky Balls Sell them or use them as a super lube filler - they are super lube by themselves.
