I recently found a guy selling an Airco 350 TIG welder with
accessories local to me. The thing looks almost new and comes with a
bunch of accessories (water cooler, torches, pedals, regulator, AL,
stainless and steel filler rod, and a cart). He's asking $1200, but a
quick google search brings up almost nothing about this machine.
Everybody tells me to get a Miller Syncrowave, but I don't have enough
money for one comparably equipped. Anybody have opinions about Airco?
I got a Lincoln Square Wave TIG 300 on eBay for $1295 plus shipping.
I am VERY happy with the machine. It was similarly equipped (water
cooled torch with fingertip control (which I converted into a pedal)
new regulator/flowmeter, cart, cooler, just no filler rod).
The shipping was huge, so you are lucky to find one local!
The Lincoln is a HUGE old-style transformer welder. I don't
know the Airco machine.
