OMG! Fran! It's like we grew up together! I HAD a spin welder! My uncle bought it for me for Christmas, and it didn't work! It used a battery pack that (I think) used two D-cell batteries. My Dad cut the leads on it and hooked it to a six volt lantern battery, and it WORKED! Came with a kit to build a helicopter that, when finished, could be powered by the welder itself to spin the blades!

Started with the Z-80, then the 6502, then the 8088, 8086. I wish I could have met you back then, 80's 90's. Haven't even watched all the video yet. you are the coolest lady!! Take care
