SIP Mig Mate 130 & 150 Turbo
Just took delivery of a regulator etc to convert my MIG Mate 130 to take larger bottles from a company called West Skelston Sevices. They kindly
included a current catalog which featured, amongst other things, the SIP MIG Mate 130 & 150 Turbos at £134.00 & £134.68 respectivly (+VAT).
Quite a bit cheaper than most other places I think & possibly a good buy if anyone's in the market just now.
Contact details are:-

Words are just not enough to describe my feelings about SIP Mig welders.
For an extra 20 quid you can get a Sealey Mightymig 130 Amp Turbo Mig Welder from Weld UK Ltd and give yourself a better chance of turning out decent
welds.

I appreciat that SIP MIGs come in for a bit of flak on here. I bought mine on the strength of the recommendation in Practical Classics when it was
highly praised &, to be honest, I've found it to be fairly capable. I will admit that it's nowhere near as good as the machine I
learned on at night class but, then again, it's a hell of a lot cheaper. Could be that the build quality is variable, but, by the way mine has
performed. I wouldn't have a problem recommending one. The price from WSS is pretty keen too.

I had a Sip 130 Autoplus for 7 years and only had a feed problem when I first got it. It was repaired under warranty (transistor on feed regulator
board) and worked well for the rest of the time I had it.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
