Norman Butters (NBC) welders are normally pretty solid pieces of kit.

There is some complication with the use of the name / quality of kit / time-line of the company. I can't remember it, but basically the old transformer migs were good and solid (NBC), then I think they became 'Butters' instead of 'NBC', and the 'duty' lightened up a bit. Finally I think there was a 3rd stage of the use of the name. So it depends when it was made / what it is, but someone will have a better memory than me and help you out more I expect.

As Al said the original Norman Butters machines was great. But I don't think this original company ever made inverter machines. Only Transformer based migs.
