Re: Welding Machine
This was made by my great grandfather E.A.Hammett. He invented quite a few things. It's not over one hundred years old.Â
Re: Welding Machine
I just recieved a Hammett 250 from a friend. I am a welding instructor and we would love to fire it up at school. Is there any info avaliable about wiring scematics or replacement end for the stinger and ground cables. I think it would be super cool to let my vo-tech students compare today's technology to "the good ole day's" with a hands on application.Â
