OT- Another welder question., Is this unit worth it? Options

[mihai914]

I am to the point where I need a welder ASAP, not just for the 914 but for other cars also.

I did my homework and the most bang for the buck in a 120V small application would be a Lincoln SP-135 Plus, with infinite voltage and wire feed control, followed closely by the Millermatic 135. The best price for these units new are above $500.

I tried looking for a used one locally and the shops are all trying to sell them 50 to 75 bucks under the price stated above. Not worth it IMO.

I know I also have to buy a bottle and gas, maybe a electronic mask but I should do with a normal one...

The big problem is budget, it is zero, zilch, nada.

I saw this Campbell Hausfeld for around $200, it comes with a shitty regulator though (no gauges) but it's a mig.

Does anybody have experience with this unit, I know it doesn't compare to the above but can it get me through? Should I take the risk?

Any help would be appreciated. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)
