Nice Cebora 180 on here £523 inc vat and delivery. How much are you thinking of spending?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Knowing Conrod...

... I'd say about 50p, a box of 200 and a couple of brekkies!

Cebora are expensive when they go wrong and boy do they go wrong......

Kempi is one of the better names, might be a tad more expensive than sealy/sip ect but worth it

I know 2 people with cebora machines who have never had problems but then you might know someone with a migatronic or miller who have had trouble. None of them are cheap when they break. They do use a lot of common components when you look inside them. If you can buy the parts and fit them yourself they are cheaper to maintain. I have an Erfi 170 that I've been using for 8 years now and I've just fitted a new tip. That's the second one.. Screwfix have a 180 in by Ferm

Looks like it has euro torch, spot weld timer and all the trimmings. Syd, if it's German it's more likely to be a BMW or Merc wiper motor . Look inside a few others and you'll most likely find one like it.
