I offered $500. Too much?

It's an older machine and I can't quite read the serial number in the
picture. It looks like MJET13535 or it could be MJE713535. I'm not
sure.

Is that a Dialarc HF for TIG or just a plain Dialarc?

If the former, it is a good price, if the latter, a "generous offer".

$200-300 at most for a minty machine, with leads/stinger

Now..this assumes that welders are fairly common in your area. If they
are as scarce as hens teeth...its a sellers market.

The last 2 Dialarcs I bought...cost me $75 each, but were sans leads
and cosmetically challenged..

As a basic AC/DC machine..they are very very hard to beat. Marvelous
basic machine, tough as hell, rugged, and all modes are a pleasure to
weld with. This is why so many of them were/are used in school
welding programs.

And why one has a permanant place under my welding table.
Good machines.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Where are you located? I run across welders all the time. Southern
California is filled with them. Since most companies now want the
latest greatest inverter based machines, and consider transformer
machines to be old tech...they are put out to pasture.

A couple years ago I posted about being given a Bumblebee 250, which
was nothing more than a DialArc 250 with a bright yellow case, and
about 500lbs of rod. I gave it away to a buddy who really needed a
welder.

Shrug...I think last count I owned about 8 welders, 4 of them being
AC/DC/Tig/Stick.

Hummm...less see....

Airco 300 Squarewave with Bernard cooler is my workhorse tig machine
Miller DialArc 250, under my welding table for stick
Dan-Mig 200 is my main mig machine
Ranger 9 multprocess, Stick/Mig (Lincoln LN-8 Wirefeeder)tig, ready to
be mounted in my service trailer

Airco 250HF (rebadged DialArc 250 HF with cooler (on loan) (tig)
Airco 350 PhaseArc mig (3ph) on loan (mig)
Esab 250 SquareWave with Benitz cooler, on loan (tig)
Lincoln Weldpak 100 (mig) in my service truck
Lincoln 300 Square Wave (under repair) Tig
Marquette 110vt stick buzzbox (piece of shit)

There is at least one more somewhere....hummm..Oh..Century AC/DC
buzzbox , stick, on loan...

Maybe one more...must not have been important..Ill remember after I
hit Send, probably...

Oh..BIG Hobart CyberTig 2, 3ph, DC tig/plasma welder...600 amp , in
storage.

Want it?

Then there is the PCM100 plasma cutter that I cant use because its 3ph
and needs a torch conversion to run compresses air, rather than CO2
and Nitrogen

And the Daytona Pocket 25 plasma cutter, which wont!! cut anything
thicker than 1/8"..damit.


I doubt I have even $2k invested in the whole bunch, including gas to
go pick em up.

Course..Im kinda sorta considered to be a Master Scrounger..shrug

Good for you! I'm not...yet.

I just bought a brandy new Millermatic 252 which is proving to be VERY
useful around the barn. I got given a Lincoln AC 225 buzz box that's
better than nothing, but I really want a nice DC stick machine.
'Nice' meaning something along the lines of of a DialArc, etc. A
reliable old workhorse that I can put in the corner and use for my
stick needs.
