I painted the sa200 today and put a new face on it and new decals also, the only thing that really went wrong was I broke the fine current rehostat trying to take the knob off, that cost 95.00, ouch, since I only paid 200 for it now I will have close to 400 in it when done, ow well. just thought you guys might like to see it

Looks really good, Dustin. They are a great unit! Used to have one just like that mounted on my welding truck back in the day doing oilfield welding. Mine was fancied up a little with chrome goodies and pin striping!

| Nothing comes close to an old "abraham" for smooth arc characteristics. Want to make some money? At $400 invested, you could easily double or triple your money on that machine. There is a reason that there is an SA200 sub forum on the American Welding Society's Forums. These are what you might call "cult" machines. |
