I found a new Linclon 220V unit, the 175 HD from a guy on Craigslist for $400. I seriously doubt it was hot. The guy buys pallet fulls of odd lot merchandise - also sells Makita, etc., too much volume to be hot.

I'm challenged enough with my welding and I gather that it's more demanding with 110 so I guess I made the right choice. Oh well. It's a done deal.
