Hi Tony,
Your welder was build probably 1983. I ran the company for the new owners for about 8 years. I in fact did the demo to Snap-On in 1979. Dad sold to C-K in 1982. They were the world’s largest manufacturer of TIG torches. The company then became C-K Systematics. It was only Systematics prior to 1982. We had a rep in your New York area, Dave Sharky, and he set up distributors is that area. I grew up since 4 years old helping Dad. At 6 he brought circuit boards home for me to solder. I made .10 to .25 cents per board depending on how complicated the pc board was. Most importantly he taught me to make my own money early in life. If i starve it’s not Dad’s fault lol

Scott, welcome to Fordbarn and thank you for adding some good stories and other information on this post about your dad. I really enjoyed the time I spent with him at his work garage, and at his Early Ford vehicle and memorabilia collection in Punta Gorda.
