Which gun do I have?

I just read your equipment list. Wow - 5 SA200's. You Collect them? I have one I'd like to part with. I bought it about 25 years ago, in a box. It had been over in the Bahamas, and whoever rblt the engine, put it together with only 2 main bearings. It had evidently set out in the salt climate w/o the head on it for several years, I had to beat the pistons out with a wood plug and a sledge hammer. I bored it, turned the crank, and it's been running every since. Hasn't been used much, I put a hobbs meter on it (oil pressure switch) when I rblt it, and last I looked, about 500 hrs. Runs and weld great, I just don't use it. Start it once a month or so and strike an arc, and that's about it. What's it worth?

Yes I collect them. About all I do is start them, and run a few rods once a month.

On the East, and West coast they don't sell for very much, in the Mid West they go very high. If you have a green light machine, they don't sell for very much, a short hood or red face machine sell pretty high. I turned down $3,700.00 for the one in the first picture. The second picture is a couple short hoods I have.
