I just scored a Millermatic 250 with AL spoolgun at an auction for
$900. Sold my Century (private label Lincoln from Sears) for $600 - no
AL spoolgun. Looks like I got an issue with the spoolgun. Otherwise,
WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT!!! * I got the Century years ago and decided MIG

You might want to do a number of welds with both and then check them
out.

I still prefer stick for welds that my life depends on.
