For the price if it runs and welds buy it If you dont like it I dont see any reason you couldnt sale and make money, or brake even.

Buy it. It's worth twice that the way it sits! S.W.

Well just called about the welder and they still have it. It is a sa200 1972 model.

He said it was updated to a new GM style charging system. think that is a big deal or is that just for the starting of the motor. dont know anything about sa200 but sure will soon.

The GM alternator swap is what a good deal of ppl seem to do. It does away with some messy wires and the voltage regulator. I'm putting an SA-200 back together right now, easy to work on and neat machines. Check out the SA-200 section here on the forums, good bit of info there.

Hey macc, I would have the local law run the #'s if it has any . It might be a little warm at that $ . Just FYI...

A buddy told me just 10 minutes ago that his boss bought a '50 model 200 for $75 today.  A guy was moving and didn't want to pull it . I told him to tell his boss that I will pay 8 -10 times that amount if he would sell it to me. Its been in a barn and he said it looked brand new!    I'm  gonna jump ALL over this deal if I get it.

75 dollars is insane hell the copper is worth way the hell more then that people are nuts or just don't know what the hell they have
