hi guys - newbie here and just registered because have just bought a Coble ac/dc machine of ebay
250328594525
have bid on a few and the felzen ones for ally seem to run about £100 more than other suppliers.
looked at this forum a few times last week and i'm fortunate in having a friend with many years of all sorts of welding experience. he recommended buying one from felzen etc for gaurantee etc but i took the view that they're all made in china irrespective of brand. will give it to him to play with and give you all his feedback in terms of functionality etc.
also, with my knowledge of the electronics industry will be able to give some feedback on construction quality, and comparing to the internals of his various sets, be able to make some sort of comment on the availability of parts.
also my view is that generally, electronic components are a commodity - meaning that parts are available anywhere and construction techniques are essentially global - thus servicing potential these days is usually good anywhere (well that's the case with TV's and hifi anyway where the same amplifier is called brand X in India, brand Y in China and Panasonic in UK!)
any comments on Cobel not already posted here will be greatly appreciated
