Tombstone Rehab...

[fjk]

(I've also posted this question on the Miller board... sorry for the
repeat - I figure that there might be folks here that are not there)

A friend of mine gave me a Lincoln Tombstone (AC-225-S) that had
been sitting in his garage for a long time and that he did not want
any more.

It needs a bit of TLC. The power cord is about 6" long, the plug is gone,
and the end looks somewhat frayed -- as if something violent
had happened to it -- rather than a nice clean cut. So I definitely
need to replace the cord, etc. Everything else looks well used, but
servicable, with no obvious problems. But I have not opened
the machine up yet.

So since I have to open the machine up to replace the power cord, I
was wondering if there are any other things to check, any hints,
tips, may-as-wells, watch-out-fors, etc that anyone has.

(I know, it's a Red machine and this is a White-n-Orange
board -- but I figure knoweldge and experience are color-blind)

Thanks in advance

Cary already gave you the best advice you'll likely hear. Those old machines are fairly bulletproof. If it was working when your friend had it, it should still be working.
