Just won from EBAY :

Niges New Toy

Seems a bit of a Billy Bargain, demo on collection too

I've been a Hunting for an AC DC TIG since doing my nightcourse,
My TIGging needs a shed load of practise, and AC Inverters are (if decent) a F Fortune,
so I thought I'd buy a Old Transformer based Single Phase unit
This being an Old Kemppi should be built like a "BSH Styllee "
and practise and practise for a few quid BEFORE shelling out shedloads on a new AC DC
And its only 18 miles away





May the P**s Taking now commence

Nige

Does "AC DC" that mean it's as happy with a Gay operator as it is with a straight one Nige ??

Neil

I'll prob be muttering whispering 'sweet somethings' at it / about it shortly
And bodily parts parentage and se*ual words will prob all be used

Nige

seeing as you mentioned 'bodily parts' have you collected the ones I left with my friends in Cosham for you & the CB/antenna

be interested to see how you get on with it.

having blown another hole in thin metal with the arc, i fancied a dc tig but wondered if it was worth it. can't quite affort the ac/dc type alas. shall keep an eye out i think.

you wont go far wrong with a Kempi, nice buy!

Very nice Nige! Looks like a solid bit of kit.

I just added a Synchrowave to the 'arsenal' / tig-grave-yard. Bringing the total tig weight to almost precisely 1 tonne. (Except this one works!)

Have fun with it! Whats the first project?

Al

Nice.

Think i'm gonna hold out for an HF start AC/DC set, should be set up for a while then

Id bin the torch Nige - Ive never used a swivel head that didnt leak

get a flexineck with a gas lens and you can get into all sorts of nooks and crannies then fnarr

Thanks Jez

Rang matey who you suggested, everso everso helpfull, knows the Machine I've bought well, flexihead no probs he says and not too spendy either

Glass lens he thinks not as the torch needs to be a WP17 ?? and no can do on that

Ta Anyways, will be popping over there shortly

Nige
