Guess you won't have much need to start up the "new" short hoods when you need to burn 6010?;):D

Actually the Short Hoods stack easier:thumbsup:. But the more I run this old girl the better she welds. Maybe it's the dust, or cob webs need to be burned out of her.:confused3:

Cool welding unit. I have not seen one that old before and I did not know they had hot start either. Most of the vintage idealarc's I see are about half that tall.

I can't say I ever seen one this tall either. But back when I was working I didn't pay a lot of attention to welders, other than for where the start button was.:ashamed:
I have an original dial on the way from Stump Welding Supply, should be here next week.

I think those machines were the predecessor to the Idealarc TM series but they took the adjustable OCV volts off the TM series. The TM's were large units too and could be had in AC or AC/DC versions. For a 76 yr. old machine, it looks like it could pass code work welds just as easily as a brand new machine. I always figured the reason they made the old machines so good was because they were using a lot bare wire electrodes. I believe I read that cellulose rods were one of the first coated rods and Lincoln 5P 6010 wasn't a whole lot different from the original cellulose rods.

That 76yr old girl can still stack em up pretty good! Also has a lot to do with the guy behind her! She definately has good genetics! I want one ;)

What is the OCV on the data plate? I could not read the number in your one pic. I am betting that welder just might predate the "Under Writer's Laboratory" mandate of limiting AC to 80 OCV and DC to (either 90 or is it 100 amps) for DC OCV. Most newer machine follow the UL listing requirements.

That machine has adjustable OCV's just like an SAE or SA 200. That's why it has 2 controls. Not as wide a variance as an SAE but still enough to customize the arc for different applications. I was trying to see what year the manual posted for it was. The upper right corner of the page didn't show and that's usually where Lincoln lists the date.
