Anyone ever seen one of these? If you can't make it out, it's called a Lincoln "Lincwelder"

Looks old and Art Deco - might fit nicely in as retro living room furniture

Can't make out what the switches do, but as there are two, it might be AC/DC.

On craigslist in Manchester NH for $100

Hi Tim,

I'm glad you took the trouble to post that picture. What a beautiful piece of machinery. That rounded top art deco style was characteristic of many types of household goods (radios, refrigerators, toasters, etc.) produced in the 30's, which is not to suggest that that welder was necessarily produced that early. Art deco also influenced architecture, transportation equipment, toys, furniture, and innumerable other things. It's hard to appreciate how pleasing that style was when those things were new. It looks so clunky as to be almost comical now.

All the best, Stan

I think Lincwelder was an earlier term before Idealarc. Some older engine drives said Lincwelder. The really old machines were called Lincoln "Shield Arc" welders. I think some of the Lincoln "Bullet" welders were Lincwelder as well. I recall a Lincwelder 225 that was the earlier AC 225 machine. The Lincoln generators are some of the best machines ever made because they had dual continuous control of amps and to a lesser extent volts. I think this was done to produce the smoothest arc for welding with bare wire electrodes before coated rods were invented. They made coated rods weld easier as well. Lincoln still makes the SAE 400 that has been around for eons. Dave

I had one like that, bought new in 1955. The switch on the right is to flip over for low line voltage, which will give a little more power if you need it. The other switch is the power on and off. Mine had an "arc booster" feature which was really nice to help start the arc. It worked great for many years but then the points burned out and I couldn't get any to fix it so had to use it without. Then I decided to get an AC/DC machine which I like much better.

Mine was built in 1957 and the one in the picture is older.

Looks like 40's - 50's model. Second switch is likely a voltage selector not AC/DC
