Welder advice needed - nearly new Clarke 151te or 22 year old Migatronic Rally 166?

[adrianreeve]

Would you buy a 1 year old Clarke 151te or a 22 year old Migatronic Rally 166?

Your opinions please!

As above, would you go for an almost new Clarke 151te, or an old but working well Migatronic?

As far as I can see, Clarke is a very good DIY kit, but the Migatronic is a well made pro bit of kit. Both are 150 amp, but the Migatronic unit has a decent wire feed motor.

Just worried about buying such an old machine.

Cheers guys and Gals!
