I stumbled across some welding cutting equipment today at a machine tool dealer in So. California (Long Beach)
I took pictures, but only have general info on the stuff, perhaps you welding gurus can fill in the details
Hobart Cybertig 2, on cart, with some sort of control panel on top as an added unit. $100. (yes, 1 hundred..its unknown if it works. Looks pretty good and had a 1998 service sticker on it..regularly maintained by a company. Guns, cables, hoses..big sucker but appears to be complete
Thermal Arc Plasma Cutter with some sort of chiller $500 (looks very nice) Hoses and gun look brand new. I think its a Tig, but he said it was plasma cutter. The pics will give you the model/name etc.
Miller Tig welder $400 Appears used but not abused.
Westinghouse powersupply with Westing-Tig add on wire feeder, gun etc. Make an offer.
If there is any interest, email me and Ill send you the pictures. They will be clear and discriptive and you will know more than me
The dealer does not know dick about welding equipment and is not his cup of tea, so simply wants to get some bucks and it out of his shop. I went to survey a machine for a customer today, and it was exactly as discribed. The fellow appears (YMMV) to be honest and helpful. I told him I would pass this on to RCMers and he is willing to help out hobbyists. He said your money is as good as anyone elses

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil? Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work. - L. Neil Smith
