Tec-Arc Tig AC/DC

[Montreal]

Hi, I've been offered a Tec Arc as I'm looking for an AC/DC machine. Just signed up for the BOC Volkszone and if they let me have it its a really good deal. Its a 20 litre Y bottle (91cm high) for £33 gas/£56 yearly rental.
Anyway what say you about Tec Arc? Its a 206 which is now the 216 model

It's not bad for the money, TA do some worthwhile mods to improve reliability and you can at least get backup and spares if required from a UK supplier.
More basic than an R-Tech but arguably less to go wrong.
I find them a little harsh on AC but still very useable.
