 Ancient TIG welder.  Wilson 200 amp MCM HeliWelder, model 200MCM-1H. 220v, single phase.  This is a DC machine with a  High Frequency generator option.  Works well in DC on steel with the HF for starting, and also works well on aluminum using the HF continuously.  Can also be used as a stick welder.  Three amperage ranges, with continuous amperage variation within each range.  No torch, no ground lead, no stick lead, no argon bottle, and no radiator.  I've always only used an air-cooled torch, and I need that and the other stuff for my new machine.  Works well, priced right.  Brian Lee 253-639-0489

Barracuda Project For Sale
For those unfamiliar with the Barracuda, it is a plans built aircraft designed by local a Boeing engineer, Jeff Siers. It won an award for best new design at Oshkosh back around 1976. The plane is an all wood, 2 place, low wing, high performance airplane.  My website is at http://members.aol.com/flybarracuda.  You can see some pictures of the project there. The plane’s airframe is almost completely finished. The new owner would need to finish the flap, the fuel system, wire and plumb the aircraft, and finish all firewall forward.  I do have the glass for the canopy and windshield along with fiberglass cowling parts. There is an engine mount already on the plane and it is set up for the recommended O-540 engine. Please let me know if you have any questions.  I am asking $6000 for it.

I would like to sell it to a local EAA member.  It is located in my garage in Enumclaw.
