WW2 hobart welder

Manuals...

Today I learned WHAT manuals I'm looking for finally. So here goes.

WW2: TM 5-5120
Post-War TM 5-5131 (Has the electric governor)
Post-War TM 5-3431-204-20P Repair Parts list for it and another welder 1963

The last manual is the only one I've found online so far. But the first one I located a copy on eBay and bought it. A friend has sent out a Signal Corps catalog for professional scanning before. I'm going to ask him where he had that done/cost and see about doing that for this. Since it seems to be nearly unobtainable and there is at least marginal demand for such a manual.

Excellent I could not find the 5120 manual anywhere seems to be a rare publication for some reason . I hope you can arrange the copying process.

Mike,

I have the manual in hand. It's the usual TM size, so like half of A4 paper size, but almost 200 pages thick. I'll be sending it out for commercial scanning as it's too thick and fragile for me to do page by page on my scanner here.

I'll keep you posted.

Here's the original on it's way to the scanner right now. Should have the PDF back in a week or two. Is there interest in a hard copy reproduction? I'm working out the possibility right now. Probably would be about $20 USD for hard copies.

Yes would be interested in a hard copy . That's a very reasonable price for a hard copy. The postage might be a problem, the US postal fees have gone up so much in recent years. Anyway the PDF version will be a start , I can get a quote from the copy centre here in town , they do the wire binding but they charge like a wounded bull. Thanks for your assistance again.

I would be interested in a hard copy.
