Local auction house had a load of welding gear in, including several welders. Few nice units, including an old Hypertherm Powermax 85 plasma. It was all from a welding business that closed down but all sold as seen as the auction house had no way of testing them.
I looked at everything but discounted most of it as it was 3 phase, plus some units looked well abused & there were others with loose casings so likely broken.
One unit looked good, an IFL 200HF.

It was very clean, I switched it on, all buttons, knobs & display working. There were no leads so I couldn't weld test it. I had a 160MA one of these & really liked it until it fell off the bench, landed on the floor & it never worked again. I cried that day!
I took a punt on it & got it for under £60.
I'll be collecting it Friday but the big question now is will it work?
