Anyone know who made this welder? Has an amps dial on the front, and an
off/on switch on the back..and thats all the controls it has. DC welder
Bout 5x6x20" long, black front, maybe red underpaint which leads me to
think Lincoln..but didnt think Airco had any rebadged Lincolns.
There is a picture of one here...

Id LOVE to find one, or an equivelant.
And yes..it had more than enough oomph to turn a stick of 3/32 bright
red when I stuck the rod in the puddle a little too deep and was getting
very nice penetration in the 1/4" L and the 8" I-beam I was welding them
to. So a (good) 110vt stick welder will suit my purposes nicely.

Political Correctness
A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Check the ID plate on the welder, there may be some indication of who made it.
The label on my Airco says Esab somewhere in the serial number or full part
number.

Data plate is missing. There is only a slightly more shiney square on
the plastic where it used to be. I checked...

Can't see it too well in the photo but it looks a lot like a Miller Maxstar
140 to me.

Lincoln had something similar but I don't remember it looking quite like
that.

That might be right. I think my first buzzbox arc welder was
branded as Airco and I was certain that it was a rebadged Miller.

That is a rebadged ESAB inverter.

VERY VERY close. Lead connections on the MiniArc are at the bottom
front, and the labeling and so forth are different, and dont include
anything about tig. Airco went tits up about 12 or more years
ago..probably closer to 20..so its likely to be an older model.
If yall ever run across such a beasty, or the Esab version (Ive been
studying...) or a Lincoln Invetec 110vt stick...for cheap/trade..yall
keep me in mind.
Anyone have any experience with the Horrible Freight inverter/stick
welder?
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91110
Looked at one the other day. Tiny little bastard. Stinger was shit. Done
know anyone who has used one, nothing on google about it. Someone on
ebay has one for sale.
How about the ArcOne...

Doing some more research..this appears to be a French made GYS MI-125
with a grey paint job....

One other reference that I found indicated that they pop their
capacitors occasionally.
I see them for sale in Europe and Oz..anyone have any experience with
them?
Wow, 80A, 100% duty cycle on 120v & weighs *10* lbs! And this is an
older model(?), so the newer ones must be even more impressive. Bob
And only $125 (MSRP) a pound too!
