Update
Thanks for the intel, I really appreciate it.
With time on my hands and uncertainty of supply/availability of overseas goods, I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger. I bought the Everlast 210 EXT Got the upgraded Torches and pedal. Man, is this thing sweet to use. I prefer the torch button over the pedal. Welded a broken cast bronze weather vane for a neighbor using copper wire for filler, also had a customer from Dallas ship me a rear hub from a YZF R-1 that had a twisted off sprocket stud. was able to weld a nut to the stub without splatter or heating the part for removal.
Next order of projects will be to make a weld cart, weld table, and fume extractor. I have a central dust system for my wood working equipment but not sure if it would work for toxic welding fumes. Also lots of practice practice practice.... Lots of settings for ac balance and frequency adjustments as well as pulse to play with and see what works best for me. Fun way to spend some of this free time.
