real quick...welder review

Looks like the one I used to use at work. Pretty solid when it worked, but was glitchy and a pain in the ass to dial in. Arc starts were inconsistent and the spool holder sucked and caused some problems. Overall, a big welder that is about as good as a lot of smaller welders that are going to be easier to find parts for. Unless he's picking it up for $2-300, I'd pass.
 
Got 1 I bought new 10 - 15 years ago. Ran production with it for 8 - 10 years. Ran a lot of 1" welds or less. On And off bout every 5 seconds 10 - 15 hours days when used. I and my help flogged it like a rented mule. No problems at all. Standard Consumables all it ever needed.
