I think they look great.
Got a bit of a lorch thing about them. I see them crop up on eBay from time to time for big money.
Addjunkie what made you chose it out of interest. Did you buy it new. Have you seen the coolers for them? They look very fancy things too.

Yes I bought it new, after my wse 200 from china died, after about 9 months. No one would look at it, I didnt have a clue. I was researching options, sure I asked on here too, looked at esab, murex paraweld various others, the termal arc at the time came with a 3 year warrenty. It was cheaper than miller etc. My local welding supplier got me a better price than I could find on the web, though he didnt normally stock them. Id just had a rather large bonus from work, so I treated my self, as I "liked the look of it" and it seemed to tick all the boxes.

Never seen a cooler for them, though I really should get me a cooler sorted sadly no more big bonuses from work to finance it though. Also regret not buying a pedal back then....

Since moving here 4 years ago the welder has had sporadic use, as ive been rebuilding an old stone house and all my free time and money have been absorbed into it. The shovel lay unloved before moving, so I sold it about 9 months ago. The blower was an eaton 45 from a mini cooper. Infact all 3 of my harleys have been sold, because living down a long farm track isnt a great experience on a harley. Just two old triumph twins to fiddle with now, and an xjr1300 to ride.

I've never seen any CEA kit in the flesh let alone used one but IIRC they're pretty well thought of and considered great value for money by several memebers?

Hi,
a friend bought a CEA AC/DC machine brand new from his dealer about 2 years ago (220amps I remember). The welding was fine but the machine broke after some hours of use and I´m not shure if they gave him a new one or if they fixed the old one.
After a while he hab serious problems again and he gave the machine back to the dealer and took a EWM Tetrix 230 for some upcharge.

I guess that could happen with every manufacturer and he was just unlucky.
Cea normally seems to build good welders and Jäckle for example use Cea technology for the new generation of welders they sell.
