Lucky MIG find

Well working at a larger retailer has some perks I guess, I happen to be working at my Part time gig and found this what appeared to be a dusty MIG sitting in the corner with parts missing looked like a forgotten return. Well after a month of inquiry's I was told that they would send it out for repair and resell it used ...that was until they plugged it in and it didn't work. I purchased it for parts, a Lincoln 135 pro with damaged handle and didn't run with a shield..couldnt find the inst or gas hookup!
After a thorough looking over and a touch of the reset it purred to life then the handle only needs a housing and shield (looks like it was run over) tip and cone. All this for a grand total of 50.00!! Just had to share, this will sit next to the linkpak 100 after I get some parts!!
