Cigweld Easywelder Stick Welder Fs Gold Coast

[warps]

Hi all

Surplus to my requirements is this CIGWeld Easywelder EC stick welder. It's rated to 140A so is good for welding up to 10mm, but can easily weld 1.6mm too (even thinner if you knw what you're doing, but I never welded anything thinner than that).

I now have a MIG and TIG (which also doubles as a Stick welder) so this one just sits on the shelf gathering dust.

The welder is about 15 years old, and has been used for light duty home fabrication (shelving, work benches etc). I haven't used it now for about 6 years, although I fired it up this morning to test it and it still works a treat.

These are a good portable welder (they were some of the first "caddy" style welders to hit the market around 20 years ago, and at the time were the ducks nuts. I remember the boilermakers at work raving about them). It's served me well, but I no longer have any use for it.

There are no accessories included (gloves, helmet etc) although I might be able to find the original welding mask that came with it. For the price of LCD auto darkening helmets these days, I wouldn't bother with the old school stuff anymore though.

Note there is some insulation damage to the earth lead, as shown in one of the photos. It's been taped up with black tape for a good 10 years, although I peeled the tape off it this morning to show the damage. Since it's on the earth lead, it's hardly likely to cause a hazard, even if left uncovered.

I'm too lazy to post specs for the welder, but I found the same model for sale on Gumtree (http://www.gumtree.c...r-ec/1010815735). Note that one is NOT mine - I've just posted the link in case someone wants more specs on the welder.

The welder has a 15A plug, and comes with the work piece / lead as shown in the pictures.

Looking for $50 for the welder - pick up only from the Gold Coast.

PM if you're interested.
