Im 38yrs old and fixing to change carreers. Im going into welding and going to buy a couple welders. This guy in my hometown has had this welder as long as I can remember. I know he welded on the Alaskan pipeline and welding was his trade for years till he retired. I seen him welding with this welder last week and today i seen him in town and asked if he would sell it. He didnt want to but after talking to him for a cpl hrs and telling him im going to welding school this month, he said he would sell it. He said the only reason he would sell it to me is because he knows my dad. He said its a very dependable welder, he used it for his job till he retired and now just uses it in his shop. He has another welder like it in the shop that he said he went through and would sell it also. He quoted me a price of 1350.00 for the 2 welders. I tried to get up to look closely at the welder, but he has a man eating german sheppard that runs around his shop and when i opened the car door all i heard was growling and seen sharp teeth so I didnt wanna chance it. He is out of town till saturday so this is all I have.. ANy help if you can give some would be appreciated......Thanks....Shawn
