[QUOTE="forrest, post: 837355, member: 16611"] I would probably just pick the lincoln "tombstone" . They are good machines. I used one as my primary machine for over 15 years. Still works great but my dad has it in his shop now and I have a Miller AC/DC 220V and a Miller AC/DC engine driven machine. If you are just dinking around AC will work fine but I weld quite a bit and I will never use anything but DC again. For what its worth I picked up my Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC used on Craigslist for $300. 7018 should be stored in heated cabinet to maintain all their specs but it is not necessary unless you are building a bridge or something critical. I use 7018 around the farm all the time and never have stored them properly and they work fine. Only two rods I use are 5P+ (6010) and 7018. The 6010 is a DC only rod roughly equivalent to the AC/DC 6011. [/QUOTE]
