My son and I are building a 23 t-bucket and are looking for a tig
machine to add to our shop Is there a good old tig machine that you
could recommend to keep on the lookout for.

My Lincoln "Ideal Arc" is a great stick/TIG welder. Not as nice as the newer
square waves etc. but a very nice welder. You just about have to find a used
one locally. Shipping cost will kill you, otherwise.
