Thought on contract welders. Money's worth.

[Tankini]

Many contractors buy a truck get into the service of welder for hire. Pay rate for truck + welding supplies rod/'s fuel.

Some say gets a day rate for truck alone. The actual welder if you can call one that, learns trade becomes certified maybe. How many actually bust a test by QC inspector and or. A field of laborers mainly.

How many actual wear respirators underneath their hoods this supposed to my understanding, end up with lung disease. Not to imagine getting their eyes burned from flashing very painful. Get paid No Matter, What (Job) signed up for.

Expenses are great there's insurance on the truck, fuel, maintenance on the welding machine plus the truck itself. Any AH members in that line of contracting-out for hirer.

Take a Closer look at that fitted out Rig. Dude has (custom wheels) on his tricked-out rig, plus running boards. Anyone believe that maybe just maybe the back-cab has a tricked out custom sound setup instilled?

Class D amp/'s maybe. Our maybe some old school setup. Mind-blower 6 x 9 speakers from back in days past with a Craig 40 watt times 4 output, brand deck? I personal worked alone side one of the Best contract welder of my days going by.

Not one AH member ever wielded? The photo was taken at a Dollar Store off of a HWY. Dude was sitting in his work truck a young lad.

My brother was a professional welder, welded everything from ship hulls to MRAP military trucks. He never went out on his own or tried mobile work.
I can mig ok, wouldn't trust myself with anything structural, but I do minor repairs on our dumpsters with a Miller Multimatic 200.

Craig stereo? 40W x 4? With common ground speaker output? Literally not possible.

(Reread comment) >("Maybe just maybe") It was a hypothetical question but I guess you just couldn't help yourself. Now you are Wrong! Had a Craig cassette deck back in the day mounted under the dashboard.

Was 40 Watts x 4 class D. with an option for adding a amp. Maybe just maybe, days of past car/truck's may or not be able. But I'm sure you will post up grafts are even quote Dr. Toole. Go ahead, take something else out of context of my post. Chewbacca .

I mentioned common ground speaker outoput and that was good for a blistering 3-4W/channel, not more. Once they started using a stereo output chip for each channel, the output rose to about 14W but this was well before ClassD. In a ClassAB amp using a 12VDC power supply, the power output was very limited.

Craig has been gone for a long time- what year was this ClassD amplifier? You didn't say anything about adding an amp- of course it could be any higher power output but I was installing many brands of car stereos, starting in about 1977 and the first one in 1976 doesn't count because I was like Sgt Schultz- "I knew NOTHING!".

"Back in the day" for me is 1977, not 20 years ago.

Lol, yep they lied! Class>whatever it was slept since then. 74-75 really couldn't say what class of amp was in that cheap player. Had to really put on my thinking cap.

Was more like 14 x 4, remembering isn't factual, neither was my comment neither the first one you commented on. Some AH members love "brow beating"<analogy.

But here we go, since on AH on a Steam Vent thread one can say anything and not get the hammer. But since spec guys love, well specs plus hammering a post for the sake of facts. Lol.

Back in my day of audio for Auto's manufacturer's media heads lied. Box would say something like 44 watt X 4 on the front packaging.

Flip the box over in small print, something like 11-12 Watts each channel or headroom something.

I mentioned the RCA outs for an added amp, well knew it would get you going. Some on AH love a pissing contest. Me also lol. That little very cheap unit at higher volume levels was horrible! Popping 6 X 9 paper speakers was like popping popcorn. That unit would get very hot!!

Once I added two 6X 9 mindblower speaker's with that Craig player. 63 Chevy Bel Air, huge trunk so bass was like Boom Boom!! Lol.

But since you commented on my first post, with "Not possible" lol. There's that. All cars/trucks has 12 volt DC. Going back further 60's generators were used.

Before alternators were used on car/truck. The comment where you stated "literally not possible" lol.. never count out Murphy's law. Lol.

Now, what say you of an added 8 track player/deck with a headphone 1/8 input, with a Craig cassette deck Plus a Delco radio!! And 4> 6X9 Mindblower speakers mounted in the back dashboard. Talk about Mineblowing huh.lol.

I'd drive up to a local hamburger malt stand. Friends were like, we heard you coming before we saw you coming..miss them days!

Take something else out of context from this comment please. Just so you can slide> with> Sergeant Schultz! Lol. It's a forum! it's the internet. Pun intended!

Cheers!
