Even more interesting is the solar welder was made by century. so in essence, lincoln owns the rights to both of your machines now 🙂 what model solar do you have? is it black, upright w/ bottle rack built in? stickers/decals make it look liek 70/80’s vintage. if so, it is a bad ass machine. i know of atleast 4 shops w/ that welder still in use. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/welders/201259)._
