Hi Folks,
I just picked up an old gold Hobart tigwave ac/dc 250 with a new w/c torch, foot pedal, and stick leads. I gave $550 for the whole thing. I have stick welded with it and it welds great. I haven't got a bottle of gas yet to try the the tig. I have always been a Miller-Killer man and have found it's hard to beat Big Red, but this old Hobart seems pretty decent. What can anyone tell me about this welder model? It seems like a good welder, and came recommended from a fellow who was in charge of an arsenal welding department.
