I bought a longevity tig 200 its DC only but it stick welds pretty good, customer support is excellent, it had a couple minor probs like the foot pedal didnt work but they sent me another fast. Other than that for the price its an excellent welder.

I've got a 160STH. Good basic machine, HF start is nice. I use one for field maintenance type work, although at the moment, it's sitting in the basement of my new house. I was putzing with some shelves. :oops: S/F......Ken M
