ac-225-s info wanted

[coreyva]

I picked up a ac-225-s code 7351 408 and am trying to determine the age and whether or not this may have copper versus aluminum windings. Google hasn't been much help with this.

Look at the pointer. If it's white plastic I'm pretty sure it's aluminum windings. Why do you care? I've ran mine (aluminum windings) way past it's duty cycle and it was old before I got it.

It has a white pointer. I don't care either way, just curious. With the limited use it will see from me, I'm sure it will outlive me. I was more interested in the approximate age of it, again, out of curiousity.

Hello,

If you find information about the AC-225-S model and code numbers, I am interested also. I would like to know the D.O.M. of my Lincoln AC-225-S.

Thanks,

John Strunck III

If you want to know about lincoln, go to Lincoln.;)

Could be the "contact us" department could help if you can come up with serial numbers along with the model number.

Coreyva,

Lincoln tells me that my AC-225-S (code 7050-305) was built in May 1973. Darn, how many other products still work good 30+ years later?

Lincoln Quality,
