Here's a question I've been working on:
Would a hobbyist be better off going with Tig so he could weld anything or would a wire feed set up for steel & aluminum be better?
This popped up on CL today, I've seen it before too:

selling because closed shop! works great ! $700.00 FIRM.
I don't have any set projects in store for it. I borrow a friend's Miller 135 wire feed when I need to do any welding but it's proven too light duty for some horse trailer repairs I've had to do.
I don't have any aluminum projects lined out but after seeing Kirkster's panniers I kind of want to make some
