Well ok ok, not gas - electric arc 
For now the Cebora is working (touch wood, fingers crossed etc).
New kit turned up today
Took a few mins to get the wire speed and power set up again. Including about 3 wondering why I had no arc - then realized I'd unplugged the earth cable from the welder when I was repairing it
George Bush moment.
Much much easier with a helmet and the auto darkening is a real bonus. Can hold the torch two handed now.
Welds look better too:
I still need a lot of practice and a new torch liner - can hear the wire sticking and then I get a load of pops till it settles down again.
Anyhow, good enough to be going on with and for welding scrap.
