Hi Mr. Watts, I don't know anything about your antique welder but it got me to thinking about a place I worked at when I was a kid. They had two old (then) round Smith welders with all the taps for changing current on the front of them. The only thing that I remember about these welders is that along about august when you went to change rods without gloves on and the humidity was high, or if you're standing on damp ground they would light up your life and make your teeth chatter at about sixty cycles per second. Get you a rubber mat if you try it out (grin). L8R----Fred OH
