Brad,
Call Whitney up first and ask them for the brand name.
Home Depot has the Lincoln 100 for $268 and you'll be able to get parts
forever. Not always true for no-name brands.
Keep in mind though, a real mask(w/headband), not the hold in your hand
type will cost another $20, Approx $75 for the gas kit, and $100 for the
Argon/CO gas bottle, brings you to about $450, for the compelete package.
Ask all the questions and make sure you know what you are getting before
you have Whitney ship a heavy package to you. It's expensive to ship it back.
I'm not knocking Whitney, they sometimes have good stuff, but be careful.
They have, at times, earned thier reputation.
Good luck and keep us informed.
