Reply:If it's large enough to fill your needs, the price isn't bad. As far as being 12 yrs. old...depends upon how it was stored, if indeed it was hardly used.Lincoln PrecisionTig 275Miller 251Miller DialArc 250Bridgeport millHossfeld bender & diesLogan shaperJet 14 X 40 latheSouth Bend 9" 'C'Hypertherm 900Ellis 3000 band saw21"Royersford ExcelsiorTwo shops, still too many tools.
Reply:High humidity and poor storage could be a major player. Rollers and liners aren't that expensive but still could be problematic as far as plug and play goes and they are an added cost.I've seen several small migs that were 'hardly used' and setting out there on a saw horse where they last used it two years ago.

Reply:Good deal then. Congrats. I'm still looking for a good deal on a 230v Mig unless I find a deal on an 8vs and have the cash at the time.GravelThe difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.
Reply:Thanks .... Now I gotta find a 80 cf tank for it.... Anyone have one they care to sell....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Reply:I love my SP-170T. Bought it on Craigslist for $100 including a Lincoln cart. It was dirty, but worked great. I like it because it isn't any bigger than a 110V Lincoln.
