Ed,
I have a Lincoln Mig Pak 100. I bought it at Home Depot. Very resonable in
price. I do not know what I would do without it. Welds patch panels in
nicely. I used it to tack weld my Mustang II IFS but I had a "profesional"
welder come in afterwards and TIG wled the rest of it. Mine is a 110 volt.
They also have a Mig 155 wich is 220 volt. That welds thicker metal them
the 10 or 100. You definetly want the gas kit with the welder. It is like
night and day when you use shielding gas compared to the flux core wire.
