I would like to have a tig machine.

Does anyone have any comments on the Idealarc 300/300? What about a price
for a used one that is ten years old?

Thanks much




If ABSOLUTELY everything is there, and in very good shape, $1,000 used for
EVERYTHING. Torches, cooler, regulator, tungstens, consumables, lots of
stuff.

Just the machine without all the stuff, $600 would be reasonable. First,
ask what he wants. He might want three. You can counteroffer, but a ten
year old machine that needs things will get you right up there in cost
quickly.

The 300/300 is bulletproof. Heavy. Reliable. Easy to get serviced. A
shop machine that is best left in one place. If you need to roll it around,
put heavy casters on it and watch out for any slopes or uneven surfaces.
