I'm looking for the best price for an A50 and see they're selling them on ebay for under £200.
Anyone bought one from there?

Mine came from weldtech, my local shop
Yes it’s how I did mine. Bought the A50, then got the belt pack battery and pipe etc piecemeal off the bay as I couldn’t afford it in a Oner. Then I bought a airfed kit from local welding supplies. I’ll find the number for you, it just needs you to swap the ADF into the new helmet.Yes, mine came from there too. Really decent guy to deal with on the other end of the phone.
My only real question now is, does ESAB supply the Air Fed part as a retrofit?
I had the displeasure of watching someone try TIG welding yesterday, they used one of my a50s and I used a viking 3350 for 5 mins. The viking isn't a "bad" hood, but I hate it compared to the a50.
1. Headband is awful. It's uncomfortable, hard plastic, and the flip friction ranges between fixed tight, and flopping down on your face, no in-between.What's the reason why you hate it? I am still undecided between the 2.
If they bring the new model (grind button and better headband assembly) over it might be an easier decision.
he's been on there a while selling them there was a guy selling for the same price and you got a receipt off him I was going buy from him but I found one on facebook it was brand new he only used a couple of times came inbox with all replacement lenses 110.00 well happy with minehi
i was looking at it as well . properly dodgy. sadly someone will buy it.
but won't be me
