I have a couple questions about your base - 1. Did you drill holes and mount it using the existing holes (sort of like feet) inside the welder itself? 2. How stable is the welder when you roll it around?

1) Yes, I did use the existing holes through the metal case of the welder. 2) It rolls very smoothly and is very stable on the "dolly" that I fabricated for it.

Can you be more specific? Are you thinking that there is a wiring diagram of some sort that could help? I took the time to look at what photos I have on hand, along with video. I don't remember seeing a wiring diagram, and it doesn't appear in the images/video that I have. I can tell you what I did to get specific information about my welder. I went to Lincoln's website, and under the "Resources" tab, I navigated to the "Support Center". Once on that page, I "clicked" on the "Search Operator's Manuals" in the "Certificates, Documents & Downloads" icon. When that page opened up, I entered the Code Number off of the ID Plate on the front of my welder. (My welder's Code Number is: 9041). Finally, you end up on a page where you can download a PDF file of the Owner's Manual for your welder. After I did that, I contacted Lincoln with the Serial Number, Code Number, and Model Number of my welder. They got right back to me confirming how my welder was wired. What I describe above is the path I would recommend taking.

You did a nice job cleaning it up but wish you spent a bit more than a minute showing it. I have 2 Lincolns, 1 my Dad bought and 1 my FIL bought both probably very early 70's. Also Dad bought the AC/DC Lincoln probably in the 80's that I now have. I played several times and are you saying that one is from 1986? Looks like the 50's to me. It would be nice if you slowed the camerawork down and spent more time explaining what that welder is even before putting the sheet metal on. I have been told that older welders lay a better bead cause they were copper wound and newer ones use aluminum to save money. Do you know anything about that?

Hello Jeff, Thank you for your note, and thank you for sharing your own experience with these welders. I am not a welder! I just want to be one! I did heavy research this past spring, and that work led me to the Lincoln Idealarc 250 AC/DC stick welder. It is the first welder I have bought (Okay, I own an Oxy/Acy setup and a small DC Inverter welder.), and it will be the last. And, if my kids want it after I am gone, it will outlast them as well. Lincoln Electric has a fairly extensive resource section on their website. If you enter the serial number of one of their machines, you will end up with a chart that will let you find when a machine was built. Their customer service center is excellent too! I sent them an email asking about the specifics of the internal wiring of my machine, and within 24 hours, I had the answers that I needed. I have been shooting video for over 20 years. In the early 2000s, I even had a part-time business of shooting and editing video. I know what it takes to shoot a quality video and to edit it down into a nice story. It takes time. LOTS of time! It's time that I want to spend working on setting up my retirement workshop, and not time I want to spend behind a camera and in front of a computer. I don't know anything about what I am doing; I am just doing it because I want to teach myself some new skills. I am a 38 year yacht carpenter veteran. Now, I want to learn something about working with metal, instead of wood. The reason that I put this short video up on my KZitem channel is, I can copy the link into my Facebook page easily. The video doesn't get "buried" here as it does on Facebook. What I post here is more of a "video diary" for me, my family, and a few friends. If someone, like you, stumbles across one of my videos, and gets a tidbit out of it, then that is great! I bought the welder back in May. I am just getting around to cleaning it up, and putting back into service now. If you would like to see a little of the earlier work, here is a link to that video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/o2iKsn55pqp5apw Take care! Barry PS: My welder is a "copper core" welder. That's why it is so darn heavy! And, here is one more video about the welder: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pW1s1Wd4hXeanKA

Just a FYI. The idealarc 250 looked like that with the round top from around 1956 to 1989 then to the flat top versions that are still in production
