Nice you have pictures of the new machine? I've played a little with welding (an hour or so everyday after hours) while working at a fab shop... pretty cool stuff though I haven't tried aluminum only mild and galvanized steel worked there about 9 months... I have my dad's late 70s early 80s ac tombstone but wanna try a cheap o flux core machine 120v for future exhaust work on my t/a
