Hi. I recently bought a funny old TIG welder on craigslist. It is a
small AC buzzbox connected to a Power Kraft arc starter (made by 21st
Century). I tried it out, and it kind of works, but it creates a lot
of interference.

My Craftsman high frequency unit works fine. It is on all the time, not just
for starting unless you switch it off. It has the best start of any tig welder
I have used, it will light across a 1/2" gap! If you lay the torch down on the
concrete floor there is a blue glow around the electrode. I did lots of welding
with it many years ago.
