majority of houses have min 60 amp to 100 amp supply single phase so its not a problem running them if you fork out for a dedicated supply

I paid a £100 over thirty years ago for a 200 amp single phase oil cooled Cytringan, never missed a beat and in industrial use every day, bar most weekends.
My mate saw two with a 2nd hand dealer, ex fab' shop, both £100, the one I bought and a 250 amp single/three phase as in the ad'.
He was quite smug because he thought he'd got the better bargain buying the higher amp welder, leastways until he got it home and discovered there was no oil in it. It's not a cheap refill.
Having said that, I think you'd get an oil filled cheaper, I've seen them go for £40, the weight and reluctance of buyers to travel is a major drawback to selling one.
Mine would work up to about 180amp on a household 13 amp ringmain, as long as there was a bit of 15amp old style fuse wire across the 13 amp plug fuse terminals. She'd go all the way, all day on the workshop supply.
