I have an older SA-200. (? SN A-596836 Code 6340-A)
It has been sitting outside next to the barn for the last 10 yrs.
I didn't try to turn it over yet, but do know it was running great and had a smooth arc when last shut down.
I'm retired now and was thinking about getting it running again for small fixes and hobby work.
My choice is to fix this one or buy a used or new welder. I have a Continental engine we took off a tow motor
before it was scrapped-(the engine had just been rebuilt when the tranny went out). It has been inside hanging on an engine stand for 10 years. Sheet metal is still solid but needs to be repainted. I'm going to assume an engine rebuild or swap and the welder is ok. I'm not sure how much damage I can expect to the welder windings, brushes, etc from sitting idle for so many years.
Any thoughts on if it is worth fixing or just sell as parts?
Thanks,
