As others have said, hook up your Lincoln. It will draw more than 30 amps
only when set to weld at around 150 amps or higher. Unless you're welding a
bridge or battleship, you won't need more than that.

Need to do some light stick welding, but am limited to the 30 Amp 220v
service that my clothes dryer is hooked to (otherwise, I'd wire up my
big old Lincolm 300!).

Never done any wire-feed work, and wouldn't want to 'limit' myself
against future needs, but it isn't a big priority now.

Want something that will last (obviously, taking Duty Cycle into
account) for more than a couple of uses. Don't want to waste my money
on a $49 POS (if you know what I mean). Used is fine (actually, I
*prefer* 'vintage iron').

TIA
