I have a SIP Migmate 130 welder which I bought when I wanted to explore my limits. Having found them :p I've got tired of it taking up space so its up for sale.

Its a 130 amp gas/gasless welder and on paper should be the perfect handyman welder. The problem with this particular model is that it had wirefeed issues which are well documented on the internet. I found that it worked smoothly enough if the lead was kept straight whereas if it coiled the wire wouldn't feed smoothly. I bought it new roughly five years ago.

It comes with several paint bubbles, an empty small gas canister and an almost full spool of wire which looks like it may have corroded somewhat.

75 euro please ;)

I have another one same as that, that was apparently unused but was robbed of a few parts to get another one going. I came into a few quid and bought a nice new mig from jebbs and didn't even try to get the SIP going.

If anyone wants a resurrection project, they can have it for free. Comes with another free Clarke 105E hobby mig that gave up feeding wire at all. It might donate a few parts to the SIP.

Lol I was gonna put 'you snooze you loose' in my previous post but erased it for being a bit harsh, but now you lost again! It's happened to me so many times here by not looking in often enough! You need to be on the ball in this trading section.
