L-Tec welders were commerical duty welders manufactured by Linde.

If you are going to the auction make sure it isn't 3 phase.

BTW, that is a mig welder.

How much are they typically worth?

It depends if it works. It isn't a trigger fed welder because the feed is on the face of the welder. You have to be a pretty welder to use it.

I was thinking about flipping it if its cheap enough and worth it

Look at them on eBay, see what is selling and for how much.

LTec 225 is a decent mig welder. Not too much to go wrong with them other than the contactor wearing eventually or a fan motor. Most problems people bring them in for are feed issues due to bad liner or they have the heat setting in between clicks so they get no output. I would say max on it would be about $400. You will drop a couple hundred in to it if the gun is shot.
And no the wire is not hot all the time it is controlled by the gun trigger.

I stand corrected. What does the wire speed controler do?

If I'm not mistaken. It controls how fast the wire is fed through the gun

I bought an L-tec Multi use machine last year. I paid $900.00 for it and it is a little bigger than your unit there.

It is a Tig Welder/Stick Welder combo. It is 240v or 480V unit that is 250 AMPS. I am using it on 240V , to hook it up to 480V there is a side cover to hook up those wires.

Like stated earlier L-Tec is a commercial welder built to last unlike the newer compact units that are out there today.

Linde sold a WHOLE bunch of welders to the Military, their quality is that good. It don't matter how old the machine is as long as it works your good to go.

That's good to know
