Reply:$1400 wouldn't be bad in my book. $1000 would be a great deal. Steve might have a better idea on current value. Start low, you can always move up.Looks like it has the cooler and water cooled torch, pedal and flow meter, so other than a cylinder and consumables, you'd be good to go. Syncro 250's are great machines..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.

Reply:I gave serious consideration to buying its twin at $2500, but couldn't pull the trigger. Power consumption was a concern, it lacked some features of the Dynasty I really wanted. They are available new, I don't know how many are still being bought. Every one who has used one loves it. I haven't used one. Can you adjust frequency? For aluminum, I consider frequency along with balance to be essential. My Dialarc HF was fixed at 50/50 balance, and 60 HZ. I could compensate for balance with cleaning. There really isn't a good way to compensate for frequency. 60 is too low!
Reply:I tend to think of around $1500 for an older syncrowave, maybe a bit more with a cooler and water cooled torch.  I might be willing to pay up to $2500 for a newer model.I have a Syncrowave 200, and for my work I would prefer it to an older syncrowave 250, mostly because the 200 has pulse.Sometimes it depends on how urgent your need is, of course.  If I had to have the additional power for a current project I would be willing to pay somewhat more.Sculptures in copper and other metalshttp://www.fergusonsculpture.comSyncrowave 200 Millermatic 211Readywelder spoolgunHypertherm 600 plasma cutterThermal Arc GMS300 Victor OA torchHomemade Blacksmith propane forge
Reply:Louie thats the machine i use at work. It kicks azz bud. Set the balance in the middle on the green line and get at it. Welds like a dream and built like a tank. Let me know if you need a hand bud. Endicott is right by me and we can stop in Haun welding supply if you wanna pick anything else up. Hope it works out for you bro, youll be very happy im sure!
