Lincoln Ranger 305D Welder Generator

[BerTex]

Just asking for some advice please-
Anyone running one? Seen one for sale on marketplace 400hrs, allegedly. Guy is asking £6,250. Seems high for a 14year old machine. Looks to be in good shape, what’s a fair price for one? I hear they have problems with the control board and production ended in 2013..

All Lincolns and Millers that we get over here are great until the control boards fail and then the're too expensive to replace. There used to be a couple of people who would repair the boards but even so, that wasn't overly cheap. I much prefer the Japenese machines which can be bought 2nd hand for considerably less than the American alternatives.
