getting started isnt easy ,,,, someone must be in your area and would let you have a go , thats all you really need . the machine isnt the big part of it , you really can get going with most of the options listed ,,,, dont overthink it.

I know a man 1 1.2 mile away done vintage cars has off loaded all his gear, might show me but I need own gear. Thanks Tom.

if its got a warranty ,,, put in a cheeky bid , all they can do is say no , but youve opened the door for negotiations spec looks grand ,,, they may throw in some extras ,,, then get a bottle of gas ,,,,, welding gas not pub co2 and your up and running , allow a bit for mask , gloves and a grinder or two .

Have you bought it yet! Like I said ring them…and buy it, it will be better than your 4 switch jobs you keep suggesting.

You best crack on rust doesnt stop while you deliberate what welder to buy.

The UK company that sold Rohr welders is no more:

Thread 'unionmart UK (Rohr) insolvency'

Sep 4, 2024

I've just seen that this company is now insolvent. Units are still being sold on eBay by a trader in liquidated stock - but for now the UK spares back-up operation is in doubt. Pity because they didn't look too bad at the price

Sometimes the welders are still offered by resellers on eBay.
Other imported inverter MIG welders are available..... BlackLine, StaticArc, Uptime, Dirty Pro etc.

Eddie, after reading your positive remarks with regards to Dirty Pro 140A I have recently purchased one. I have got to say this machine has amazed me on every level.
I have been struggling with my 20 year old mig welder, mending it more than welding with it and cannot believe how easy the dirty pro is to use. My welding has never been this good.
So thanks for your comments and advice and if you have any further guidance, tips and tricks in the use of this machine I would be extremely grateful to read them.
Many thanks, Mike.
