hi,
My elderly SIP 170 finally died, so I need a new MIG. The problem is that I live in France, where these things are not too common and very, very expensive, so need to buy mail order However, not many UK places will ship something as large as a welder
Found this thing on local ebay, shipped from Italy....

I make that about £380 all in.
The rough details translate as its an inverter mig that will take up to 15kg reels or .8 of 1mm wire. can be used gas or gassless, pure DC output.
Fan cooled, welding current ranges from 20 to 200 amps.
A quick google shows an italian company, but rumors of chinese manufacture?
The spec looks ok to me, but does anyone have anything else to add?
Failing that, does anyone know where I could find a seller who will deliver to France for reasonable costs....something like a Clarke 160 or equivalent?
Thanks.
