Good choice? Good price?

Any thoughts?

I know the welding subject has been beaten to death...

Kind of overpriced if you ask me, and its pretty old. You can get an auto set one with 180 for 850$.

Yah, see if the guy will go down. I don't think they come with a tank, but it comes with the regulator. Or you could weld with flux wire.

Those new auto set welders are nice too because it's easier to setup and find the correct wire speed and voltage. Try your local welding store too.

No, not all. It's just you can spend the same price for a newer welder
