My first TIG

[winchman]

Been offered a Rainbow 1150 Tig set, its a scratch start no HF basic machine all ready to use whats it worth?
I was thinking of offering £100 as its a very basic set?

 

[BrokenBiker]

depends what you want it for...without HF i would assume its only a DC output?

if so it is pretty much resigned to steel and stainless steel...if your ok not being able to weld ali then it could be worth a punt depending on what others that have had experience with them say about reliability etc

Going to use it for my lads motor bike frame, wont be doing alloy
I spoke to the company it was supplied new buy he told me they are good basic machines but wont do alloy and spares are to order with no issues
On the up side its MMA as well so I could part with my Oxford and gain a bit of space.

Is that a cea rainbow winch man.
Good machines if so and were pricey too. In full working condition it's worth the price of £100 for sure. You don't need AC or hf to have good fun with tig mate.

Thanks that's the one, I am waiting for him to tell me how much he wants so whats the maximum I should pay?

That's down to you and what you want to pay. £100-150 seems fair.
Been a High end mma inverter with basic functions new they would be £500-600 Id imagine.
Can't find much on them.
Jim Davey is a CEA distributor. Might be worth asking him what they cost and what they are worth 2nd hand.

We have just bought 20 CEA Rainbow machines.They were delivered in October last year,we now have finally got several machines out on the coal face.We will have a massive rethink about CEA.Have IWS lost the Distribution?
