Hi Tom:

About 6 years ago I bought a Lincoln SP-100 MIG welder. It works great.
It runs about 100 amps. Plenty of power for stuff up to 1/4 inch but can
be reduced to handle auto sheet metal with no problem. I use it with gas
or with Lincoln's "Innershield" wire without gas. It has a 30% duty
cycle but I have never had it shutdown. It's quiet, a very professional,
overbuilt unit. I think it was around $700.00 through Sears.

Hope this helps.
