I wanted to give the business to the local guy, but the company is not set up for the weekend warrior. They want the commercial accounts before they talk discounts. I have a Miller Legend, an LTeck250 mig, lincoln buzbox, CRAPsman junk, and various other buz boxes, gas torch/tanks combos. My goal is to get into hifreq, tig, or something so that I can weld up some underwater toys too. But,, if I had to pay the prices around here, I wouldn't get much for the buck..
I may try one of my other big dealers. He may have some specials.
Thanks for the tips.
