Hi metalworker,
welcome to the forum and its great to have another new member taking the time to register. This is a small group and we hope that you stay with us for while. By the way its a great bit of equipment and i would think has taken a long time to restore.

Hi dobre. Thanks for your welcoming. Yes, the restoration has taken 5 years and still, but when I will finish sure it will be a good be done project. I visit your web site, but can't enter in your gallery. Thanks again

Hi metalworker,
i am guessing that you do some form of welding or you just enjoy restoring old machines for fun.

Hi Dobre. Yes I'm a welder man (or solderer, I dont' know how you say to this concept) since 1985. I was work in so many places. Since 10 years ago I own a small workshop. When I try to in to your web site I'm interested in what kind of work you do. The restoration is only a hobby, for this reason the project of the golden engine has been so long. By now I'm jus work arc welding and oxiacetylene welding. I hope can buy a TIG welding, I guess only the high frequency and argon tank with regulator because the generator welder give the D C so good. Do you believe me if I say both gens are twins? Hope I can send to you a picture if you wish via e-mail [e-mail]
