That Craftsman setup sold already. Not a bad deal even if the welder was junk. Cart and helmet were worth about $90
I now have more information and recommendations to work with thanks to the gang in here. Biggest thing is I'm at best a weekend warrior on any of this stuff so I'm wanting something for very infrequent use... but I don't want to jack around with a junk machine... tough to learn when the tools aren't correct.
