I'm looking for a welder for a nephew, preferable a Millermatic 140, or Lincoln or Hobart 140's, the biggest thing that can run on 115 volts. Hopefully a welder someone got for a project but isn't using any more. I'm a little afraid of most Craigslist stuff since I don't know enough to tell when a welder's at the end of its natural life, so I trust people here more.
Thanks
I bought one off of Craigslist for $100 with a 350cf full tank, large spool of wire and gas kit! It didn't work but there is a place that repairs them in Modesto, they picked it up and delivered it repaired for $150 including parts! I sold the full tank for $250 and traded one of my extra C02 keg bottles at Airgas for the CD/Argon bottle and paid $22 for the gas!
Total invested $22!!!!
If you don't pay to much and get the gas option and a bottle jump on it!
