I have a 900 lb TIG welder in my shop building 5 miles away and am
considering getting rid of it to buy one I can move without a forklift.
I
learned here that the little 120V Lincolns were a favorite for auto body,
any favorite TIG welders for general purpose, maybe auto, home shop, and
aluminum welding? I'm mainly interested in doing light gauge welding but
it
would be nice if it was capable of maybe up to 3/16"-1/4" aluminum.


My favorite home welder is a Syncrowave 250.

What price range do they usually sell for?

Years ago I went to a boat factory auction and they had several of these for
sale, they went in the $550 - $650 range. They had water coolers and looked
like they used them for fabricating boat parts out of stainless steel.
