Forget it. Save the Spit in it's majestic state. I would find some way, come hell or high water, to keep it as it should be...even if I have to learn how to most of the work myself. Vic Whitmore 76 S

Brad, when I decided to buy a MIG, after looking at JCW, Costco, etc., the choice I made was based on serviceability, and re-sale value. I chose Lincoln and paid more. When it comes to getting it fix
