Airco Dip Pak 200 Manual
I had seen this Airco Dip-Pak 200 unit on CL for about a week, but wasn't too interested because it's a rare machine which usually means good luck finding parts for it. I was throwing back a couple beers on Saturday so I decided to give the owner a call. He tells me he is the original owner of the machine and has all the paperwork to prove it. Going by the pics I can see it is a creampuff compared to most 220V machines I see for sale. He also tells me that he has only done light gauge work (1/8' and less) with it since new.
Come to find out the guy is a foreman for a big named bodyshop and does restoration work as a side gig. He had an amazing home shop and was restoring a '71 Buick GS and a '56 Chevy Convertible. I also saw another rig (unkown 60's era GM make) under palstic wrap in the third bay of his pole barn. Basically, the guy knows his business, and looking around his shop I knew he was meticulous with his tools.
He put his bottle on it, fired it up and I ran a few beads on all settings. It is a very smooth running unit. I knew I wanted it, but the price was the last obstacle to climb. Convective heat transfer kakac solution manual.
He had it advertised for $650 which I knew I wasn't to spend on a discontinued mig welder. After running the beads I guess I was a little too happy and I threw out $500 and he immediately replied with the word 'SOLD!!'

I probably could have got it for around $400, but it's a nice welder. I think I did ok. Hell, I bought an SP170T for $75 and sold it for $400 a couple years later. I think I'm still ahead of the game reagarding 220V welders. Anyone have any long-term knowledge with these units:dunno:? Just wondering if there are any quirks or problems they are known for.
