midnightman Posted October 26 Posted October 26 My first portable was an early 70’s SA-200. It’s true that they are probably the smoothest machine someone could ever use. Sound cool too with about a 8” straight pipe right off the manifold of the 4 cylinder continental. Working for 8 or 10 hours, the cool factor was diminished if you didn’t have at least 25’ of cable between you and the machine. 2 Quote
yellowrosefarm Posted October 27 Posted October 27 I know there are probably a bunch of reasons not to do it, but I have an old metal box of 7018's that a friend of mine gave me years ago because he said they had gotten wet. When I need them, I just lay a few on the welding bench and run the acetylene torch over them until they turn white again. They seem to burn fine after that. Quote
