Picked this up last week....Well rolled it up in the van. Paid about a buck a pound for it!

It is a Lincoln 250/250 tig. The arc works great. The tig torch is not hooked up. It came with about 100 ft of #2 cable, the foot controller, and a ck 300 amp water cooled torch. I am cobbling together the odds and ends pieces to hook up tap water to the torch and adapt my gas bottle.
The guy I got it from was consolidating his dads collection of tools. There were about 8 welders in the shop a couple of arcs, some migs, an old lincoln 300 tig and a really nice miller 350 sincro. So the my dad bought it and it sat under some crap for years story sounds about right.
The way I figure it was a mediocre deal if only the arc works and a smokin good deal if I can get the tig working.
Any thoughts or suggestions.

It didn't look used, and it works excellent. However, I didn't get a pedal with it (had one sitting about like everyone else does) rebuilt it and plugged it in.... might have 75 cents a pound in it now
