Default Welder for sale

Hi guys, I'm selling my welder, as I now have 2, and can only use one at a time!

It's a Cebora Autostar 180, a fantastic bit of professional quality kit, that runs from a standard 13 amp plug.

I bought it from Bonzo in here last year, put a new PCB in it, refurbed the gun, and have been laying down fantastic welds ever since!

Over the years, I've owned the usual SIP and Clarke stuff, and this welder is just in a different league! It's so much easier to weld well with a good welder!

It's no spring chicken, but is still far superior to any hobby welder, and with its new pcb, should be good for many years to come. You can buy these new (but not as we'll built as the older machines), for £600 + vat.

I'm looking to get back what it owes me, at £150, and at that price, it really is a steal! Happy to let anyone wanting to buy the opportunity to try it out first, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Cheers

Adrian

Whereabouts are you Adrian?

Does it need a 16A supply at higher currents?

I'm in greenhithe, Kent. I've had it at full chat on a 13 amp plug with no problems, but only for short periods.

Cheers

Adrian

If you can't find a local buyer, I would be more than happy to buy that back off you at that price.

Cash now & bring it down next time you are in this neck of the woods.

To be honest I miss that set, my new Lincoln is not half the machine that the Cebora was. ( Read, a bit too industrial for fine gauge work )

It's a great welder Ronnie. Only selling it as I now have a portamig 185, and I don't have room for them both! I'll let you know mate.

Cheers

Adrian
