WILL IT WELD? I’ve never seen a welder like it!

#vintage #welding #history COULD THIS WELDER BE EVEN OLDER THAN THE SMITH?! Will it weld? Bob was nice enough to give me this awesome old machine, but it came with a disclaimer, it hasn’t been used in 20 years and I don’t know if it works. Of course I took it! This things a part of welding history!
