| Item Description: |
wires show some obvious age and cracking
one positive and one negative heavy clips are still usable.
no way for me to know if they are original.
interesting simple circuit on the inside
from a time when they still bothered to make repair
of an appliance or tool possible.
I guess you have to change terminals inside
to select either 6 or 12 volt operation?
I did put a little oil on the top hinges and
a drop or two on the screws, otherwise any dirt
and rust you see is not through and through.
piece could be cleaned up or left au natural.
you buy it you can plug it into a variac
and test it out yourself.
me? I'm too chicken.
but,. what could go wrong?
I didn't unscrew the bulb to examine it close up,
that will be your job if you make the winning bid!
I have no idea if spare parts are still available.
with that monster transformer and fuse inside
it can probably still put out the juice.
AS IS, but all the parts appear to still be there
what you see is what you get,
nameplate is missing a screw
(sorry about the picture quality from my cheap camera)
I set a modest reserve to cover the cost of copper
and any tungsten because,
if someone passes up this gem of bygone days
it is way past due at the scrap yard.
it's been gathering dust and rust here too long.
own a piece of GE technology history.
might even make a decent spot welder.
