Hi
I'm Andy. I've had a clarke 120e for a few years now (bought used) and it's OK, but it's getting tired. The wire feed is getting dodgy (new sleeve going in this evening) and I could swear I can't get the power as low as I used to....
I know a poor man blames his tools, but that's life. Among other things I've been restoring a mini with it and repairing my sheddy Metro Van
Anyway... I'm thinking about replacing it (the mig). Looking for more power and more power settings than the current 6 with switches, preferably on a dial.
A trolley would be good as my Y cylinder is a bit bulky for dragging round my tight garage.
The torch on the clarke one is a bit flimsy and doesn't have much cable/hose, so was thinking a euro torch with 3+ meters of cable/hose.
As for budget, I was originally thinking £300 but £400 might be nearer the mark. Either new or a lightly used unit.
I've been having a good read, but would appreciate peoples advise on my specifics.
Speak up if you have something for sale which might be of use to me, I'm willing to travel about 50 miles from S61.
