MIG welders

[jddamon@ix.netcom.com (Jeff Damon )]

I purchased a Lincoln SP100 just after they came out (1986 I believe). 
Since then it has been used and abused as much as possible. I own a 
British Car restoration shop and as I'm sure most of you know this 
would demand a lot of rust repair and fabrication of all sorts of 
things. To date this welder has been a trooper welding anything we have 
thrown at it with out a single problem of any type. The only part I 
have ever purchased for this unit is the different tips for different 
size wire. It has always been used as a MIG unit using copper or 
stainless wire. It has welded up to 5/16 plate on a single pass 
perfectly. The only problems I have had using the unit were 1) not 
enough available amperage, and 2) once the supply house sold me 
straight Argon instead of Argomix. I would most definitely buy this 
unit again and I swear I don't work for Lincoln! Just my .02. JD
