Hmmm...
Okay, well...
I have a Lincoln 225AC buzz-box that was given to me by my grandfather... first welder I ever owned, and the welder I first started learning on... but I haven't used it in years... but here's what I got in the shop right now:
Hobart Handler 80 (aka the 'original Handler'), fitted with gasless wire, and use it only to tack things together in-situ, or in remote circumstances.
Miller Goldstar 16hp Tecumseh engine driven, on trailer with engine-driven air-compressor... easy to tow around the farm to provide power, welding, and air-pressure...
Miller SRH-333 DC stick/tig supply in the main workshop. This was FORMERLY a three-phase machine, now converted to single-phase. Purchased for $60, parts to convert added $25, took two hours to convert.
Miller CP-200 MIG welding supply with 10A wirefeeder running 0.035" ER-70S wire and 75/25 mix. This was FORMERLY a three-phase machine, now converted to single phase. Purchased on auction for $150, took $18 in parts, and two-and-a-half hours to convert.
OLD Airco (made by Miller) Heliarc 330ABP HF TIG supply, with a similar-aged cooler (labeled Union Carbide... perhaps a LINDE...), a 23A footpedal, and a Weldcraft torch.
In the barn, awaiting conversion... an AIRCO CV-300 II, and an AIRCO CV-300 III, and a Miller CP-300. Not because I have any particular need, but because I can... and I'll document it...
