A need AC TIG and soon. Got a stack of irrigation pipes in need of
repair. A welder would be cheap and easy to find if I didn't need both
high power stick and AC TIG

ESAB has some interesting stuff too. Maybe there Heliarc 281i would suit
your fancy. Some discussion about where its made:

Thank you for your recent information request on the Heliarc 281i. The
power supply for the Heliarc 281i is made in Italy. It is then
assembled in the USA with additional parts i.e regular and tig torch
that are manufactured in the USA as well. If you have any additional
questions please let me know.

Thanks,
