I have an old Lincoln 300 amp shipyard welder that must be nearly that old. A guy gave it to me and it's just been parked in the trees, but supposedly the electrical end is good. Motor is a flathead 6 with an updraft carburetor and a magneto, if my memory is right. It's somewhere low on the "restore it someday" project list, with "replace the motor with something modern" more likely. I'll get to it when I need to build a steel bridge or a battleship.
